Suffer Strong: How to Survive Anything by Redefining Everything
Suffer Strong: How to Survive Anything by Redefining Everything | Katherine Wolf, Jay Wolf
2 posts | 3 read
Is it possible to embrace suffering as a privilege, rather than a punishment? Beloved authors Katherine and Jay Wolf offer readers the bold invitation to trust a known God with an unknown future, as well as practical insights into surviving anything by redefining how we think about everything.After miraculously surviving a near-fatal brainstem stroke at age 26, as told in their memoir, Hope Heals, life for Katherine and Jay Wolf changed forever - and so did the way they viewed God, the world, and themselves in it. There was no going back to normal after such a tragedy. Yet Katherine and Jay learned that suffering is not the end, but rather the beginning of a new story. In Suffer Strong, they invite us into this new story as they share universal lessons and helpful practices that will help us to: Recognize we are being equipped for an uncommon assignment, not cursed by our story.Transform our unmet expectations into brave anticipations.Disrupt the myth that joy can only be found in a pain-free life.Rewrite the narrative of hard circumstances by turning our definitions of suffering into declarations of strength.And, ultimately, thrive even in the lives we never imagined living.

The most hopeful and positive person you will ever meet is a woman named Katherine who suffered a massive brain stem stroke and was left profoundly physically disabled. She teaches us that in the process of being broken we can become more whole than ever we thought possible before. The Wolfs show readers how God‘s bigger than life plans for us can shine brighter in the darkness.

“We are all disabled. None of us have unlimited access to whatever we want or whatever we planned for our lives to look like.” This blurb changes the way I see my limitations as a person living with a chronic illness and disability. We are all “disabled” in this sense and all of us, really, are capable of creating beauty in our lives within our limitations. The Wolfs are convincing me! 💗
