Over 100,000 copies sold!

What happens when a woman looks at herself in the mirror, lingering just a little longer than usual and realizes that she no longer recognizes the person staring back at her? What does she do when she sees that, somehow, her life has drifted away from all her original hopes, dreams, or plans?

Speaker, blogger, and writer Chrystal Evans Hurst wrote this book because she was that woman. One day she realized that she had somehow wandered from the life she was meant to live.

Chrystal since discovered that this moment of awareness happens to lots of women at different seasons of their lives. Poor decisions, a lack of intentionality or planning, or a long-term denial of deep hopes and dreams can leave a woman, old or young, reeling from the realization that she is lost, disappointed, or simply numb.

And she just needs encouragement.

This woman simply needs someone to hold her hand, cheer her on, and believe with her that she is still capable of being the person she intended to be.

Chrystal uses her poignant story of an early and unexpected pregnancy, as well as other raw and vulnerable moments in her life, to let listeners know she understands what it's like to try and find your way after some missteps or decisions you didn't plan on. In She's Still There Chrystal emphasizes the importance of the personal process and the beauty of authentically sharing your journey one girlfriend to another. It’s a book of "me toos", reminders of the hoped for, and challenges for the path ahead - to find direction, purpose, and true satisfaction.

Also available: She's Still There DVD series and study guide.

life changing experience

recommend this book if you want to see your life change for the best and be led by God

Finally....Someone understands!

Love, love, love this book! Chrystal answered questions I didn’t know how to articulate. I now have a plan to make the changes I’ve been longing to make my entire adult life! I’ve started a book but haven’t finished it, now I know I can do it. I am capable of more!

Her chapter about discipline is exactly what I needed to hear. My life has lacked discipline because I have based it on feelings instead of keeping a commitment to myself. I will rescue the girl in me. For 10 years I’ve carried a picture in my purse that was taken when I was just 5 yrs old. I pull it out occasionally and tell her I’m fighting for her. After listening to this book I have an actionable plan to be all that little 5 year old me dreamt she would be...and more! To God be the glory! Thank you, Chrystal! When I publish my book I will send you a copy!

Very inspiring book.

Chrystal sits down with you and helps you realize the girl you thought was lost is in there and how to rescue her.
love this book!

Awesome!!!

Crystal did not hold anything back, she spoke it like it really is; while providing encouragement, inspiration and a desire to keep it moving!!
Must Read for All Women!! No matter your upbringing or background...

Takes a long time to get started

By the end of the 1st chapter I felt like I was listening to someone who just wanted to talk about themselves. Wasn't engaging or advice giving. I couldn't tell where she was going and had to give up for my own sanity. Recommend reading kindle version for a few pages to see if you will enjoy the book.

A must read!

Loved it! It felt less like a book and more like a heart to heart conversation. I own the physical book also and found myself reading along with the audio. It was hard to turn off/ put down once my usual bedtime arrived and I found myself saying, "just one more chapter then I will sleep." This was the jump start I needed to get on with living my life and not stop being content in merely just being alive. I highly recommend this for all women out there regardless of your religious beliefs. We all have been and will occasionally get stuck. Grab the hand and be thankful for the help.

Excellent inspirational and motivational book

The stories shared are both compelling and captivating. I love that the author reads this as she's a phenomenal speaker and it comes through in this audiobook. It is a great motivating and inspirational book for women who want to "rescue" that girl in her. It combines messages of faith perfectly into appropriate sections of the book.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

This book was akin to sitting down with one of my best girlfriends and having a chat about everything bugging me at the moment. But it was more than that... somehow. The insight given and the delivery of this book will make you smile, might make you scream and will certainly give you a lot of "AHA!!" moments. I will be listening it again really soon because I think I enjoyed it so much I may have missed something. (Kinda like getting down to the bottom of a movie popcorn bucket and searching for kernels.. LOL)

Loved LOVED Loved it!!!!

Dynamic and what every girl should hear.

This was an amazing book! Crystal makes you feel like you're sitting in her living room with her over coffee and sponging up all she has lived through

Funny, Poignant, and Honest

I enjoyed both the messages in this book, and the performance by the Chrystal. It felt more like I was having a conversation with a girlfriend, rather than listening to some stranger.

Her voice is calming, and her sense of humor is relatable. Enjoyed reading this, and will be recommending this to my sister!

Must read its Brilliant

I learnt so much from this book, I loved it from start to finish 💜💜 Chrystal was very candid and this spoke volumes, so much that I joined the sister circle.. If you are at a stage in your life that you need mentoring, and some new perspectives, this is the book for you. both informative and humerus..

Motivation for mid-life women

I liked Chrystal’s wry sense of humour and ability to share her foibles, struggles and journey. However, it is definitely a ‘time of life’ book most suited to married women with families. This is not me.

There are those who will enjoy her applied psychological techniques, but as a clinical psychologist, this did not meet my need.

There are nuggets of wisdom throughout, but I felt this did not fully meet my needs the further I listened although I kept hoping.

Reading this book was a heart warming experienc .

Reading this book was a heart warming experiment .
Plus it really felt as if my older sister was giving me sound advice, which I am willing to put in practice. Thank you for sharing.

Great read for Women who want to make change real

Great read. Thought provoking & introspective. I learnt to really examine my motivations and move forward in certain areas of my life. Our biggest challenge is facing ourselves and owning what we see.

very honest and relatable:)

even better because Chrystal read it herself. and i'll be recommending this book a lot!
