"Hal's work with Convoy of Hope, which helps millions of people in need worldwide, is a beautiful story in its own right. However, this is more than that--this is a story that will cause you to imagine how God can use the difficulty you have faced for his glory."--Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Find Your People and Get Out of Your Head and founder and visionary of IF: Gathering

"What Really Matters is a deep exhale and look back at the greatness accomplished by a family who puts the needs of others first. There is an honest recognition of the cost of selfless living and a question put forward for us as we turn each page: Is it possible to love my spouse [and children] well while caring for the poor, the widow, and the orphan?"--Mōriah and Joel Smallbone, artist and actress; for KING & COUNTRY

"Self-care is not a luxury but a necessity in order to fulfill God's calling in our lives. Every leader needs this book!"--Chris Hodges, senior pastor of Church of the Highlands and author of Out of the Cave and Pray First
