Anna Hurst

I know what it’s like to have no time, to feel trapped in your circumstance, and not know where to even start. But it’s actually quite simple, just begin. I didn’t arrive where I am today in an instant, I walked the journey of open-handed living one step (and choice) at a time.

My open handed living journey started when Andrew and I got married in 2007. It was a growing process, like all new habits, but we have seen glory story after glory story unfold and fruit in abundance. There is nothing ordinary about our life; we stand out everywhere we go. I have countless jaw dropping stories of amazing miracles and heroic wins which I’ll share throughout these pages. Our lives are not easy, as none are. There have been peaks and valleys just like everyone else because living a life surrendered to God isn’t a free pass from life’s struggles. But we feel full and confident as we live this life exactly how we were created to live it, connected to our Creator, living surrendered and walking in obedience.

What others are saying about “Open Handed Living”

From the very first page, I could feel the depth of Anna's faith and the authenticity with which she shares her journey. It's not often that a book leaves such a lasting impression. Her honesty and vulnerability in talking about the challenges and joys of living a life fully surrendered to God really touched me.

Open Handed Living is a 'must read' book for every Christian who wants to fully surrender their life to Christ. From her own experience, Anna Hurst does an excellent job of explaining how to walk with Jesus in the midst of a very busy and intense life

– Gerard Long, Author and Pastor

Wow! God is shining a bright light through Anna in this work and gift to the world. It is a guide for all ages. No matter if you do not know Christ yet, are newly walking with him or have known him all your life. Open Handed Living has helpful tools for walking out the Christian faith. Giving the truth of scripture alongside practical action steps is sure to help all who read and apply God’s word to their daily life. There are few books on my nightstand that I return to again and again, but this is one that will for sure be in that category. The words and meditations of her heart are surely pleasing the Father.

– Lyndie Metz, Motivational Speaker and Life Coach

Anna Hurst’s story is one we’re all craving. It is vulnerable, authentic, full of grace and gratitude. God is in this story and is a playbook of sorts for our own stories.
