You're the Worst Person in the World

Publisher's summary

Are you tired of the unrelenting pressure to be the best at everything? Author and speaker Scarlet Hiltibidal was too. For Scarlet, attempting to be the best at pretty much everything—whether that be the best wife or the best sub-sandwich maker or the best Christian—was her life story. But in the midst of all her striving and reaching to hit the mark, she somehow still couldn’t grab hold of the joy and freedom and life-change that’s supposed to come with the gospel’s good news. That is, until she realized something revolutionary—instead of the best, she might actually be…the worst. The “chief of sinners.” Poor in spirit and gone astray.

In her much-anticipated follow-up to Afraid of All the Things (and in her humorous and relatable style), Scarlet tells plenty of stories of her own “worstness” to help you see your own and rejoice in the reality that our goodness and badness aren’t what make God smile at us. Instead of hiding from our brokenness, this book will help us stare that broken reality straight in the face, along with a laugh or two, as we feel the weight of just how absurdly and glaringly off the mark we all are! What’s more—this book will also help us embrace our status as “sinners” and “sheep” and “worst people on earth” who have been mercifully rescued and impossibly loved by the best person who has ever lived: Jesus. And the unbelievable part? As we admit our worstness, stop trying to be perfect on our own, and simply walk with the One who really is perfect, we’ll find along the way that we are actually changing for the better!

If you’re tired of hustling to be the best, take a load off with Scarlet and say the honest and laughable truth along with her: we’re the worst people in the world!

Every woman (mom or not) needs to read/listen to this book!!

I listened to this book on my commute each day. God amazed me how what I listened to would match perfectly with the Mom Set Free Bible study I am currently working through AND the Bible Recap Daily Bible reading lesson. So many times I’ve felt God speaking directly to me as I have listened. Thank you for sharing your story!!!
Perfect in every way.

Captivating from Get-Go to the Credits

Listening to Scarlet Hiltibidal read “You’re the Worst Person in the World” was an absolute joy! I felt as if Scarlet was sitting at the table across from me while clutching a cup of coffee and sharing her real life experiences with whit, humor, honesty and truth. I listened to the entire book while traveling - and found myself glued to her every word. God used her story and her reading of the Word to help me. I highly recommend the Audible version of hearing Scarlet’s voice read “You’re the Worst Person in the World”.

another great one. speaks to me just where I'm at

loved this book. her words are sometimes messy or a little hard to follow but that's what I love about it. everytime I listen to one of her books- I have afraid of all the e things on repeat- I feel like I'm sitting down to talk with a friend. she doesn't preach at me from a pulpit. she sits with me. Scarlett please never stop writing. I love hearing from you and hearing updates on how God has moved in your life and your family's life. I saw this book pop up as a recommendation and bought it immediately. I was excited to "catch up" with you. Great to hear from you again... my pretend friend. :) I highly recommend this book and anything Scarlet Hiltibidal writes to anyone but especially us girls who are the worst.

So relatable!!!

I love everything Scarlet writes! She is funny and smart and godly!!! Thank you for sharing your experiences with the rest of the world!

Amazing and refreshing

This book is so good. The weight of being awesome is like a prison. This book has news that will set ya free.

You’d be crazy not to read this!!!!

… it’s so practical and biblical… you will NOT want to put this down!!! It’s like a popsicle on the Fourth of July for your soul!

Scarlet - you are a trip!

As I “read” your books I appreciate how real you are about your faith, your imperfections, your struggles, and how being rooted in Jesus helps you overcome your hurdles and who loves you anyway. Very refreshing! Thank you!

Loved this book!

Full of scripture, wisdom, vulnerability, and honesty. I related and nodded along from start to finish! Thank you for helping me see my depravity. And for pointing me to the best person in the world time and time again!
