Dang girl! Powerful and practical straight-talk in a world that wants you in a twist about marriage. A must read and re-read. A dose of vitamin T (truth) about what marriage can wonderfully look like when we look more at what God can do in our commuted hearts than what our husband or wife should do for us; more at what God gives to the unit than what we are expecting to get as individuals.

Marriage is more than just a promise - it's a commitment. It's vowing to each other that you are life partners and will walk through life hand in hand, side by side, regardless of the ups and downs you will surely face. Karen's book will help cultivate your marriage during the good, bad, and those moments you threaten to sleep on the couch!

I’ve seen firsthand in my research how one person’s simple actions can make or break a marriage. This book provides an excellent, actionable map for how we women can help our marriages to fly even when it gets rough — or boring.  We can’t change our man, but when we work on us, everything changes! Karen has written another practical, charming winner.

Keep Showing Up will make you wonder if Karen has been secretly living in your home, watching and listening to your marriage! We found so many of her stories resonating with our own. Insightful, fun and incredibly practical!

Whether she's just starting out or has been married for what now feels like a lifetime, there's something for every wife in Keep Showing Up. With humor, grace, practical teaching, vulnerability, and Biblical Truth, Karen hits on all the hard topics. I see this book restoring marriages that feel dry, empty, shallow or just tired and becoming a long-standing resource to pass onto women who just need a wise friend to encourage them to keep showing up.

Having just celebrated fifteen years of marriage with Mike, Karen’s words lovingly convicted me and motivated me to re-envision how our differences can actually be the door to a deeper connection with each other and a greater dependency on God. Keep Showing Up truly delivers on what the back cover says it will help you and your spouse accomplish together.

The Apostle Paul says the profound mystery of marriage can be summed up in the relationship between Jesus and his jacked-up bride, the church. Jesus keeps showing up and doesn't go anywhere when we continue to ignore and flat out dismiss him. Karen makes much of Christ by exalting marriage to its proper place as a portrait of grace painted with the brushstrokes of our failures and half-hearted attempts at doing the right things.

-Noel Jesse Heikkinen
Karen’s Pastor, Riverview Church, author of Wretched Saints: Transformed by the Relentless Grace of God

As I read Keep Showing Up, I nodded my head, felt convicted, took notes and highlighted so many pages to apply to my own marriage. Karen’s use of personal stories and humor will draw you in but the substance of her words will have you ready to go to work on building a better relationship. I can't recommend this book enough.

As an almost-newlywed, Keep Showing Up was a God-send to me. Reading each page was like finding treasure troves of pure gold nestled among catchy phrases, humorous anecdotes, and candid and sincere advice… all filtered through the lens of the Bible. This book is one that can provide valuable information with all relationships, not just the one between spouses. Making it my mission to Keep Showing Up, today and every day with everyone who crosses my path.

Whether newly married, never married, or married so long you can’t remember not being married, Keep Showing Up is a must-read! With grace, humor, and her own personal experiences, Karen demonstrates how even a strong union of two can crumble by the wrong mindset of one. This book challenges us to examine our hearts and offers a fresh perspective to help leave crazy behind and stay crazy in love.

-Rebecca Lynn Dikeman

Wow! This book provides a convicting—and redeeming—solution that will allow you to become a god-honoring wife: examine your own heart. Keep Showing Up challenges you to stop looking at your spouse, and other external factors that make marriage hard, and instead start evaluating your own heart as you allow God to enable you to love like Jesus.

I've been married twenty years, so I can attest to Karen's advice in Keep Showing Up. I also discovered some new and creative things I can do to strengthen my marriage.

-Kelly R. Smith

Preparing for my recent wedding, I didn't want to hear more “congrats on finding happily ever after”. Instead, I wanted real advice from someone living in a real marriage. In this book, Karen gives rarely found raw truth in a way that is refreshing. Her willingness to honestly paint the realities of marriage strengthens my “new wife” heart in a way Cinderella never could.

Keep Showing Up is a blessing of a book. I’ve been married almost 11 years and Karen’s book has taught me so much. Yes, it may step on your toes! But it reminds you that marriage is not for selfish ambition but calls us to be selfless and put your spouse’s needs above your own and to love in the “agape” way, and in doing so, it helps us be molded into who God created us to be and love like Him!
