BOB GOFF, AUTHOR OF NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERS LOVE DOES AND EVERYBODY, ALWAYS
Perhaps you find yourself in a season where you feel deafened to directions or lost while looking at your future.

BIANCA JUAREZ OLTHOFF, SPEAKER, CHURCH PLANTER, AND AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING BOOKS PLAY WITH FIRE AND HOW TO HAVE YOUR LIFE NOT SUCK
In the season before we knew of global pandemic, through Megans pen, God was writing words that would become part of the antidote. This book is a balm of hope reminding us that we can trust a faithful God who made each of us with robust kingdom purpose to fulfill in the here and now!
BRIAN WURZELL, EXECUTIVE PASTOR & SONGWRITER, HILLSIDE COMMUNITY CHURCH, AND PROMISE TANGEMAN-WURZELL, CEO OF GOLIVE
For a decade now Megan has been on the top of everyones favorite speaker list, and now that same passion and humor leaps off every page of her first book. If you have ever struggled with finding Gods purpose and plan for your life, Megan will launch you down that path while drawing you closer to a biblical Jesus that we desperately need more of in our culture today.
CHRIS BROWN, LEAD PASTOR, NORTH COAST CHURCH, VISTA, CA
With winsome candor, signature humor, and a profound depth of insight, Megan challenges our self-centeredness and invites us to drink deeply of God Himself. Ill tell you one thingI will never read Jeremiah 29:1114 the same way again! Read Meant for Good and be refreshed.
JESSIE MINASSIAN, AUTHOR OF UNASHAMED: OVERCOMING THE SINS NO GIRL WANTS TO TALK ABOUT
Im grateful for Megan Marshmans ability to not just teach information but, ultimately, to speak directly to my heart and soul... especially to my doubts, fears, and anxieties. What a reminder that Im never in isolation but that God indeed has plans for each of our lives and we can place our trust in this loving God.
REV. EUGENE CHO, PRESIDENT, BREAD FOR THE WORLD; AUTHOR OF THOU SHALT NOT BE A JERK: A CHRISTIANS GUIDE TO ENGAGING POLITICS
Through her vivid storytelling and beautifully deep command of Scripture, my sister Megan Fate Marshman delivers a practical and fresh approach to one of the most well-known set of verses in the Bible. Readers will undoubtedly catch some of Megans passion for trust-filled living as she inspires us to sprint after Gods good plans. If youve felt good and stuck, Ive got good news: Meant for Good is the honest and hope-filled book on purpose youve been waiting for.
ASHLEE EILAND, PREACHING + FORMATION PASTOR, MARS HILL BIBLE CHURCH; AUTHOR OF HUMAN(KIND)
As someone who has really struggled with anxiety, this book widened my eyes to the hope I have in Jesus. And its not because Megan is clever and well spoken (although those things are true), but because this book left me knowing God more deeply than I did when I started. Megan doesnt attempt to give us a list of feel-good solutions. Instead she leads us straight to the heart of a good God, because He is the only One who can give us real hope and peace.
EMILY HAMILTON, LEAD VOCALIST, FOR ALL SEASONS
I admire how open and descriptive Megans examples are from her own life. Meant for Good allows the reader to gain a perspective of what it looks like to have a relationship with God while giving Him your complete trust.
GYASI ZARDES, FORWARD FOR THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM
Megans absolute joy in her relationship with Jesus comes through the pages of her book, inviting me to find the same kind of joy. She helps me understand God in a deeper way, but never in a way that makes Him feel far off and unapproachable. Rather, her words remind me that God is right here with me. Megan tells me I can trust God and then shows me how.
GRETA ESKRIDGE, SPEAKER, CONNECTER, AND AUTHOR OF ADVENTURING TOGETHER
Megan Fate Marshman is hands-down one of my favorite Bible teachers on the planet. In Meant for Good, she unleashes biblical insight after biblical insight in the most accessible, inspiring, and human way to show again and again how great Gods plan is for YOU. This book is a must-read!
