Ready For Anything: Preparing Your Heart and Home for Any Crisis Big or Small
Bad stuff happens all the time but this doesn’t mean we have to live in constant fear.
Ready for Anything: Preparing Your Heart and Home for Any Crisis Big or Small gives finite simple steps for being proactive rather than reactive—helping you prepare their mind, heart and home for any unfortunate circumstance. Full of stories and humor along with facts, tips and lists, Kathi offers a down-to-earth guide that will show you how to face the unexpected with confidence, relying on God’s strength and plan rather than giving in to fear and anxiety.
Her step-by-step plan is easy to implement and will help anyone become a better steward of their resources as well as be the neighbor who can help in a crisis rather than needing help themselves. Kathi’s goal is to equip you to be the front line of helpers in any crisis from a natural disaster to a friend’s job loss.

Hi, Kathi – – I’m going thru my craft shelves today and using your podcasts to motivate me – thank you! =] I really liked this one. However, whenever I’ve tried to prep food ahead of time for the week, it is seriously a 4-5 hour ordeal. Just curious on how long your hour of power actually takes you, especially with the week planning, etc. included? Is that basically all of your Sat or Sun? Or, am i just working at a turtle’s pace?
Thank you so much for all of your ideas, encouragement and enthusiasm! I really appreciate everything you do!
