Do It Anyway

Don't Give Up Before It Gets Good

By: Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Sarah Jakes Roberts

Narrated by: Tasha Cobbs Leonard

In this inspiring guide to the power of faithful resilience, Tasha Cobbs Leonard—Grammy Award winner and Billboard’s Gospel Artist of the Decade—shares the secret that helps her persevere: When saying yes to God doesn’t make sense, do it anyway.

“Prepare to be invigorated to claim every promise, realize every dream, cast aside every excuse, and embrace every God-given desire within your heart.”—Travis and Jackie Greene, pastors of Forward City Church

Pastor, entrepreneur, and gospel music icon Tasha Cobbs Leonard tells of journeying through moments of unforeseen challenges while holding to an unshakable God and discovering that our greatest breakthroughs come when we make the courageous choice to show up and do hard things anyway.

Tasha tells remarkable stories of experiencing this firsthand when she committed to dreams even when they seemed unrealistic, pursued adoption though it looked impossible, navigated the dynamics of a blended family despite challenges, and watched God move in each step of endurance through infertility and depression.

With true testimony and conviction, Tasha inspires you toward a bolder way of life with the promise that it will always be worth it on the other side. Along the way, she equips you with practical tools to help you

• Dream big with God again

• Focus on God’s direction over the loudness of the world

• Never forget God’s faithfulness, especially in the midst of your hopelessness

• Don’t let fear of failure force you to quit on your miracle too soon

• Believe firmly that no mess and no amount of pain is beyond God’s redemption

Whether you’re feeling stuck, stressed, or simply weary—there’s a more a hopeful way to live, a bolder way to believe.

To follow God when the way seems impossible, persevere in faith even when the odds are stacked—this is what it means to “do it anyway.”

Critic reviews

“Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s voice has resonated across the globe through her music, but now she offers us a profound glimpse into her intellectual and spiritual depth. This book transcends mere melody to reveal Tasha as a profound thinker and an inspirational leader. Prepare to be invigorated to claim every promise, realize every dream, cast aside every excuse, and embrace every God-given desire within your heart.”—Travis and Jackie Greene, pastors of Forward City Church

“People would never believe that Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s royal, powerful presence was borne out of a modest, vulnerable place. As her friend, I have a hard time believing anything could ever shake her. But this book is full of those tough, unsafe, less-than-gospel-legend moments that produced a jewel of a woman and leader. Do It Anyway is a must-read.”—Jonathan McReynolds, Grammy Award-winning gospel artist

“Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s story gives endless hope and inspiration. Do It Anyway is a phrase that every believer should live by because we walk by faith and not by sight!”—CeCe Winans, Grammy Award-winner and author of Believe for It

Staying at the feet of Jesus

Do it anyway

True Blessing

This book is so encouraging! She did an amazing job sharing her story. I was at Woman Thou Art Loose the year she sung. When she read about that event, it was like reliving a beautiful moment in my life.

Sit at the feet of Jesus

Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s story is so beautiful and this book is a testimony to God’s greatness. It was an absolute honor to read this book and her story is so inspiring. What I love the most about this book is how her father instilled in her at a young age to sit at the feet of Jesus. This is something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life and is something that I tend to forget in this crazy world. Sitting at the feet of Jesus allows us to be humble and to be grateful for everything He has done and will do. I hope you all enjoy this book as much as I have!
