About this audiobook
This unique audiobook experience includes an exclusive conversation between Levi and Jennie Lusko and audio from recordings and home videos that share the life of their daughter Lenya.
What if your struggles aren’t a barrier to thriving but an invitation into your most vibrant days? Discover how to live a life of joy and fullness, even in the midst of disappointment and broken dreams.
How can you find a way forward when life throws you sucker punches, when you face obstacles that seem to snuff out your faith, when you lose someone precious to you? It is in the sacred space of pain and promise that we can begin to flourish. Even in the midst of disappointment and broken dreams it is possible to grow, be strong, and draw near to God.
In The Fight to Flourish, Jennie Lusko draws on her experiences after the loss of her five-year-old daughter, Lenya, to show you that the ingredients for a fresh and thriving life are right in front of you. Jennie's story will help remind you of how much God loves you, even when life feels unbearable.
With grit and grace, Jennie will help you:
- Discover that flourishing is not an impossible destination but a divine revelation of where you are right now
- Find relief from the weight of overwhelming circumstances by resting in the realization that God is fighting for you
- Trust that God is growing you in the gap between your expectations and your experience
The word flourish is written all over you and your future. Discover the ongoing strength that Jennie has found and learn to reengage in life with renewed strength and confidence.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thank you sooo much for telling your story.
For being obedient when it’s so hard.
For pressing in when it hurts.
For your honesty, transparency, and vulnerability.
That takes a lot!
I pray you are truly blessed for your obedience.
Through this story...You are such a beautiful example of Christ’s love, strength, healing, and faithfulness.
God bless you and your family ????? - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love it ! God spoke to my life in a great way !
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such an amazing and inspiring book, thank you Jennie Lusko for fighting through the pain to gift us this beautiful gift. You helped me see things that I need to work on and hear things I needed to hear and be reminded of. How you did this, is beyond understanding of this Mom's heart... but what a great blessing that God gave you the strength and courage to get this done. I know a list of people already that I can not wait to gift this book to. Thanks again you truly touched my heart for God!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love the Luskos, and have heard Levi’s side of the story of their (earthly) loss of Lenya. It was very precious to hear Jennie’s ‘side of the story’. This book is far bigger than her side of the story, it’s a testament of life, of thriving, and not merely surviving during hard times. I enjoyed every bit of this book, and I highly recommend to anyone out there xx
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the best books I have read! It brought healing and hope to my heart! You won’t regret a moment of listening to or reading this book. ?❤️
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So so good, God spoke to me in so many different ways through her voice. I am going to be buying a hard copy and maybe the book study to go with it. I’m excited to listen to it again and read along.
