HOLLEY GERTH, bestselling author of The Powerful Purpose of Introverts: Why the World Needs You to Be You
I just absolutely adore how honest Jenn is about all the reasons we dont want to put our Yes on the table: What if God calls me to something too big? What if God calls me to do something Ill hate? But What if I put my yes on the table and its more than I could ever imagine? You, my friend, dont want to live a half-life. And that is not Gods plan for your one, precious life. Let Jenn show you how to put that yes on the table.

WENDY BLIGHT, author; Proverbs 31 Ministries Biblical Content Specialist
My only challenge in reading Jennifer Hands new book, My Yes Is on the Table, was pacing, because I definitely wanted to read it all in one sitting! Who doesnt love adventure stories? Combine the courageous, often upside-down world of God using and guiding His people several millennia ago, with the spontaneous and joyful spirit of this trauma counselor, speaker, author, and cheerleader, and the result is wonder, wit, and great wisdom for your own life. Jennifer will not let you hold on to fear, regret, or excusesshe calls us all into the totally surrendered life of fully following Jesus and pouring into other hungry souls along the way. Her delightfully unique voice and laughter echoed as I thoroughly embraced my own best yes in response to her words. Read this book, and then tell me all the amazing things that you truly believe God can do. In you. Through you. All that is required is your own yes.
LUCINDA SECREST MCDOWELL, author of Soul Strong and Life-Giving Choices
Few books have transformed my life like My Yes Is on The Table. It has challenged me to trust God more, encouraged me to respond with quick obedience, and inspired me to believe in the power of the Spirit of God at work in my life. Fear was put in its proper place and replaced by faith. This message will unlock an adventure with God you cannot imagine is possible. An adventure where your heart cries Yes even before you know the next step to take because youve grown to fully rest in His promises.
DR. SAUNDRA DALTON-SMITH, physician, author, and host of I Choose My Best Life podcast
Jennifer draws the curtain back on the puppet show that is fearexposing the enemys attention-seeking scripts. My Yes Is on the Table cuts the strings on fear so that all of us can live a life full of Gods blessings.
KAT ARMSTRONG, Bible teacher and author of No More Holding Back and The In-Between Place
After doctors told me I would die if I didnt quit drinking, I knelt by the couch I was living on and prayed to Jesus: I have squandered everything Youve given me, but whatever I have left its Yours. It was that YES that radically changed my life. If ever youve wondered, Could God do something in and through my life? the answer in Christ is YESand your YES is how God will move YOU into just that. God is always after His glory and our goodand He delights to accomplish His will through His people but not all His people are willing. Jennifer Hands My Yes Is on the Table is the heart-changing, life-changing, and eternity-changing spark you need to give God permission to set your faith on fire.
