Chonda Pierce
Acerca de esta escucha
One of America’s funniest women opens up in this real and raw memoir, encouraging listeners to face life’s trials with unshakeable faith and joy.
A stand-up comedian beloved for her combination of feisty wit and Southern charm, Pierce knows all too well that life is funny—until it’s not. But she also knows that it will become funny again. She’s held on to that hope—and that promise—through tragedy and triumph.
And now she’s finally ready to tell her full story.
In Life Is Funny until It’s Not, Pierce recounts a preacher’s daughter’s childhood filled with heartbreak, including abuse, her parents’ divorce, and the sudden deaths of her two sisters in the span of two years. Even after she achieved success in her comedy tours, trials and tragedy dogged her through marriage, motherhood, and widowhood. But God was there with her through every sorrow and every joy.
This story of unshakeable hope and faith will inspire readers to turn to God and trust his faithfulness.
Chonda Pierce has a white-knuckle faith—the kind you almost dare to have taken from you. And she wants her listeners to share her unapologetic courage to hope—as well as a few laughs along the way.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Most days peace feels elusive, and our hope feels light-years away. And it is almost impossible to set our minds on God's coming reign. But what if the return of the King and His Kingdom is exactly what we need to find our peace and ground our hope today? His coming victorious reign is what gives us the strength we need now. Trusted Bible teacher and Pastor Dr. David Jeremiah unfolds the Second Coming of Christ and His millennium reign here on earth with stunning clarity while also showing how the correct interpretation of these pivotal events changes how we live here and now.

Can a simple concept shift your entire world? Bob certainly thinks so. When it comes to loving your neighbors, instead of focusing on having the “right answers” or checking the “right boxes”, what if you decide to simply do love? To shamelessly show love and grace to those around you—what would that look like? Not the kind of love that stops at thoughts and feelings, Bob's love takes action. Bob believes Love Does.

Behind the curtain of her happy on-screen persona, Valerie Bertinelli’s life has been no easy ride, especially when it comes to her own self-image and self-worth. She waged a war against herself for years, learning to equate her value to her appearance as a child star on One Day at a Time and punishing herself in order to fit into the unachievable Hollywood mold. She struggled to make her marriage to Eddie Van Halen—the true love of her life—work, despite all the rifts the rock-star lifestyle created between them.

A Chance to Die is a vibrant portrayal of Amy Carmichael, an Irish missionary and writer who spent fifty-three years in south India without furlough. There she became known as "Amma," or "mother," as she founded the Dohnavur Fellowship, a refuge for underprivileged children. Amy's life of obedience and courage stands as a model for all who claim the name of Christ. She was a woman with desires and dreams, faults and fears, who gave her life unconditionally to serve her Master.

I loved it!! I loved how raw and honest she was about her story. I related a lot to her depression and darkness she went through. I was able to take away a lot of inspiration to put to work in my personal life! For example forgive myself and HAVE FAITH!

What a testimony!
I didn't like the narrator at first since she didn't sound like Chonda, but before long I thought it was Chonda herself reading the book! Such a life story of ups and downs. Would love to have a friend like that in my life, but makes you appreciate what you DO have! Great reading! Have a listen as you won't be disappointed.

Chonda makes it real and she does it with wonderful grace. I believe she shares her story to take away the shame that haunts many of us, allowing us to heal and bask in the beautiful Grace of God.
