Do It Anyway: Don't Give Up Before It Gets Good by Tasha Cobbs Leonard Book Review

In Do It Anyway, Tasha Cobb Leonard shared how we need to refuse to give up and to do it anyways. She is the hit Christian artist who sings, Break Every Chain. She attended the Stellar Gospel Music Awards on January 18, 2014 with 7 nominations and she felt she was living the Ephesians 3:20 dream. She had just released her first album that reached a top ten list on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums of the year. She won New Artist of the Year. It was extra special because her dad was there. Her dad had a strong work ethic and rarely would risk missing church. He was a ministry and love to share the message of the Gospel. The next day her father went home to be with the Lord. He suffered a heart attack while driving. Luckily, he took his foot off the gas petal and he just coasted into the ditch. He used his last bit of strength to remove his foot off the petal and this ended up saving his wife’s life. She explained how she had to choose to do it anyways and attend the Grammy’s. She ended up winning Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance. 

Another section of the book, she explained how she battled with her weight. She realized she was in trouble when she was deeply out of breathe one day walking to the car. She used to be athletic in high school and she stopped worrying about her health. She wasn’t exercising and eating right. She prayed and sought out help and had weight lost surgery to help her maintain a healthier weight. For three years, she was successful in working out and eating healthier. Her and her fiancé both struggled with their weight. She shared this story to remind readers to do it anyways even after you fail. Weight lost is a journey that you have to battle every day. She shared how she had to walk through the process of healing while waiting for God’s deliverance. She felt this was her torn in her side but it helped her to stay aligned with God’s will. She shared how she also lost her voice and was struggling singing like she used to. They found out she had a polyp on her left vocal cord. Even though, she couldn’t sing during this time she still could praise God. 

I would recommend this awesome book about choosing to do scary things anyways. I immensely loved how she enclosed helpful review questions and a quick recap to help us to dive deeper into the message. One of my favorites discussed giants and how important it is to be honest with ourselves. Her story was inspiring to read about how discovered her love for music, how she got a label, and the challenges she faced.  

I received this book free from Waterbrook for my honest review.”
