Story
If you’re wondering if God can truly move in the life of someone with all the odds stacked against her, look no further than Tori Hope Petersen. Tori grew up in the foster care system, a bi-racial child in a confusing and volatile world. Growing up with a mentally ill mother and living in twelve different foster homes, nothing was in her favor. And yet, even with a miniscule chance of graduating college and a great risk of being homeless, jobless, and on drugs, Tori overcame every negative stereotype that attacked her. However, Tori will tell you she did not overcome. Christ did.

Publisher's Summary
Failures don't need to be final, and disappointment doesn't need to be defining. Come along on a wild, hilarious, faith-building ride, and let The Art of Getting It Wrong guide you toward hope for the future and the freedom to love your life exactly where you are.
Long before his YouTube channel, The Miller Fam, became a viral sensation, Stephen Miller got a ton of things wrong. He knows what it's like to endure countless failed endeavors, make too many rash decisions, and feel deep discouragement when life doesn't go as planned--sometimes all before breakfast. But those experiences taught him a powerful lesson: it's going to be okay.
With the characteristic authenticity, love, and humor Stephen shows in his YouTube videos, The Art of Getting It Wrong offers timeless truths and never-before-told stories of misadventures and out-of-control disappointments that will encourage you to:
- See the good at work in your life, even when you make mistakes
- Look for the laugh in every situation
- Embrace the truth--whether it's a warm hug or a kick in the teeth
- Believe in yourself and grow in your sense of self-worth
- Discover the power of grace, both for others and for yourself
Join Stephen as he shares what it means to turn failures, mishaps, and disappointments into a life of fun and fulfillment--even when it's not what you expected.
Praise for The Art of Getting It Wrong:
"With his trademark passion, humor, and optimism, Stephen Miller brings an important and timely message for us in The Art of Getting It Wrong. We all need a friend who can remind us that it's going to be okay, even when life's disappointments, failures, or deep hurts threaten to pull us down."
--Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
"If you find yourself trying to get back up after falling down, you'll find this book brimming with encouragement and buoyant with hope."
--Dr. Darren Whitehead, lead pastor, Church of the City, Nashville, Tennessee

Encouraging read!
As a person who, like Stephen, used to be one who was pretty consistent at the art of getting it wrong I was able to identify with this book! I think what stood out the most was Stephen’s humility and authenticity. Most of all, sharing hope that our failures don’t define us but they do refine us. Without that hope, it’s very hard to break the cycle. I absolutely love the song, “Hope” and never get tired of listening to it. This book was an easy read and I highly recommend it.
