“Hold this catalytic book gently—because once you read it, you will be forever changed. Because you aren’t holding ideas about how to endure suffering—you are holding igniting hope that every single one of us needs: the tried, tested, true, and proven way through hard seasons, as told by brave survivors-thrivers who actually, daily, literally, incarnate the truth about how to suffer strong.”

leave you more equipped to see how God so sovereignly redeems our suffering.”
