This is the book I needed when I lost everything, without warning, to a stroke at age 26.

Friends, when we are in our lowest moments, it feels impossible to see any good thing around us. We suffer, we struggle, we grow weary. We wonder, Is God at work in my life? Is he near me? Is there any point to my suffering and any hope for change?

Though our overwhelming pain clouds our view of reality, the truth is that, even though we can’t see it or feel it, God is at work in the darkness. He is in the business of bringing dead—and nearly dead—things to life. I should know. He did it for me.

Even now, no matter how fresh your wounds might be, I’m inviting you to unearth his hidden treasures in your hurting, to reframe your darkness as a sacred space in which the light of hope can shine most brilliantly. Come join me as I share my own places of wounding and the life-changing insights I’ve found there.

Find grace for the heartbreak of unmet expectations

Explore the places your pain and purpose intersect

Wholeheartedly embrace the life you never imagined
