Lysa TerKeurst’s main body of work spans more than two decades of Christian living books, devotionals, Bible study guides, and participant guides. Her earliest books from the 2000s focus on marriage, faith, and saying yes to God’s plans. From 2011 onward, her writing became more personal and topically focused, with individual books addressing food and cravings, emotional control, decision fatigue, rejection, forgiveness, boundaries, and trust.

Several of her books have companion devotionals and study guides designed for group use — Made to Crave, Unglued, and Trustworthy each have associated workbooks. Her more recent titles, including Good Boundaries and Goodbyes (2022) and I Want to Trust You, but I Don’t (2024), reflect her own journey through a public divorce, lending them a rawness that resonates with readers facing similar situations. The books can generally be read in any order based on which topic is most relevant to the reader.
