About this audiobook
Life doesn’t have to be so complicated. Join Bible teacher Lisa Whittle as she shows you how to grow deep roots of faith and walk strong on a journey to put Jesus first.
We all want to live simpler lives and to put Jesus first—but we struggle with doing both. While we are busy strategizing new ways to streamline our calendars and clean the clutter out of our closets, what really needs attention is actually the secret to long-term clarity and lasting peace: putting Jesus over everything in our lives.
In a culture that carries the confusion of overindulgence, endless options and influencer voices, the Jesus-first life clears our minds and hearts of noise so our souls can find true meaning and rest. In Jesus Over Everything, Lisa offers a close look at the eight choices you can make to help you grow in your understanding of what it means to put Jesus first amid the craziness of the day-to-day.
Discover the joy of choosing:
- Commitment over mood
- Real over pretty
- Steady over hype
- Holiness over freedom
- Service over spotlight
- Wisdom over knowledge
- Honesty over hiding
Jesus Over Everything is a practical, compelling picture of what we crave and yet struggle to define as we seek to give God his rightful place in our everyday lives. Packed with tools to equip and motivate you, the Jesus-over-everything journey will help you reprioritize your faith first in order to reprioritize your daily life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was phenomenal. Literally a handbook for life! I can’t believe it took me this long to read it. I will now keep it in quarterly rotation because I need it! Thank you Lisa!!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Author Lisa Whittle shows the importance of giving Jesus first place in your life while showing it isn't an easy thing to do using examples from her own life. While many women will gain much from the book, I think women younger than baby boomers (such as myself) would appreciate its writing style more.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This morning I finished Jesus Over Everything by Lisa Whittle. I appreciated how real the author was and I found this to be a quite convicting read. Although, she offers some examples of things she has done in her life in order to put Jesus first, I would not say this read is a step by step guide nor do I think it should have been. In the authors words, this book is more of a kickstart to encourage the reader to pray and seek transformative change in his or her own life. I definitely see myself rereading this book in the future. She gives the reader a lot of things to think about and I know I missed some along the way.Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
