Do It Anyway

Do It Anyway is the debut book from Tasha Cobbs Leonard, a Grammy Award winner and Billboard's Gospel Artist of the Decade. It is a personal account of her biggest trials and victories and of showing up for hard things with resilient faith and perseverance.

Her central message is that the moments when she had nothing left to give and could only surrender to circumstances are the moments to press on and do the hard thing anyway, because a breakthrough and transformation wait on the other side of that decision.

Her story ranges widely. She went from Googling how to upload an album to iTunes to releasing a Billboard Top 10 album. She endured a heartbreaking miscarriage and later brought home her baby boy. She lived through depression so heavy it kept her in bed, and she now mentors others as they look for purpose and joy. Throughout, she says, God met her after every step of faith.

She has shared parts of her journey before, but here she goes into it with more depth and vulnerability, including stories she has never told. Sidebar Do-It-Anyway prompts invite readers to apply the message to their own lives. Through testimony and conviction, she encourages a bolder way of living, with the promise that it will be worth it in the end.
