The Best is Yet to Come: 52 Reflections on What She Taught Me

“I’m wondering if the lesson I’m supposed to learn is ‘Nikki—you have zero control, zero guarantees, no matter what, you have to trust God.’” (from Nikki Healy’s journal)

Inspired by his wife Nikki’s deep and authentic faith, Steve Healy beautifully compiles lessons learned from what she taught him during their 18-year marriage and subsequent three-year battle with cancer, which concluded with her passing just one week prior to her 40th birthday.

This 52-week devotional is a result of the deep work Steve did the year following the death of his strong and spirited wife. Despite the brevity of her life, her journals, letters, videos, and messages left a legacy of wisdom forged through both her life’s joys and difficulties revealing life lessons focused on Jesus and applicable to living a life well-lived.

The Best is Yet to Come: 52 Reflections on What She Taught Me guides the reader through disciplined faith work. Each weekly chapter does a deep dive into a faith-based concept by interacting with the topic through context, scripture, prayer, thought-provoking questions, and actionable steps. Over the course of the year, those who dutifully commit to this process will face their past, tear down strongholds, strengthen their character, and forge a deeper faith and maturity in Christ.
