They weren't qualified. They weren't prepared. Some of them weren't even willing - at first.

But they showed up anyway.

Ready or Not tells the stories of seven ordinary people across different eras and circumstances who said yes to God before they felt ready. A warehouse worker with a record and nothing to lose. A frontier woman running from her past. A single father running on empty. A Kansas wheat farmer watching the dust take everything he'd built. A retired teacher with more love than she knew what to do with. A Chicago reporter sent to find the fraud - who couldn't find it. A West Texas cowboy who spent twenty years praying for his best friend one Tuesday at a time.

None of them had their act together. That was never the requirement.

Willingness was.

If you've been standing outside the door - arms full of reasons it isn't the right time, convinced you need to be more ready, more qualified, more put-together before God can use you - this book was written for you.

The door isn't locked from the outside.

It never was.
