A gorgeous memoir that honors life’s deep griefs, great joys, and unsettled in-betweens through every sacred season, assuring us that we are never aloneExquisitely told and urgently resonant, Even After Everything is a love letter to anyone who has opened their heart only to be hurt. Stephanie Duncan Smith proposes that it’s not through grit or forced resilience that you will find a way forward, but through receiving the full spectrum of our lives, just as we receive the empathy of God-with-us in every moment.Duncan Smith’s disorientation began when she lost her first pregnancy on the winter solstice, just as the world readied to celebrate its most historic birth on Christmas. Then a new yet uncertain pregnancy unfolded parallel to the pandemic, until nearly one year to the day of her loss, she gave birth to her daughter at the peak of mortality in their city. These contradictions compelled Duncan Smith into a desperate search for steadiness, which she found in the liturgical year as a grounding force and the promise that we are seen by God in every season.In Even After Everything, Duncan Smith traverses the church’s circle of time and reorients herself and us in the sacred story told through Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, and Ordinary Time. She reveals the sacred year—through its endless interplay of love, loss, risk, and resurrection—as a mirror to the human experience, an anchor for turbulent times, and a womb strong enough to encompass every human care. At its heart lives the promise of God-with-us, inviting us into the spiritual practice of taking courage in the trust that we are accompanied in everything, and love will always have the last word.

She offers words to live and love by, and a path towards healthy relationships that enhance rather than deplete us.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith? Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms. There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith—one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises. In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to • believe for the impossible• choose hope over fear• be alert to the voice of God• cope with loss and doubt• develop a deeper level of trust in God• speak faith-filled declarations• inspire crazy faith in others God’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen. He’s looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?

The pastor and founder of Redefined TV offers a transformative journey to self-love and healing, revealing how addressing our inner struggles is the key to loving others and fulfilling God's purpose. “Heart Rehab helps you move from hurt to healing, and guides you through a process to repair the hole in your soul—and become whole.”—Jon Gordon, bestselling author of The Energy Bus and The Carpenter When our inner world feels messy and out of control—we’re stuck in damaging patterns, haunted by traumatic memories, struggling in relationships—it’s tempting to imagine worst-case scenarios and exhaust ourselves by trying to bury the brokenness and put on a happy heart. Sound familiar? If you are worn out from the pain of unhealed wounds clouding your mind and stealing your joy, Jerry Flowers, Jr., invites you to pause, breathe, and dare to believe that God’s destiny for you is much more than merely settling and surviving. Heart Rehab offers a respite, a caring shoulder, an encounter with the transforming power of the Great Physician. The grace and truth within these pages will meet you in your deepest hurts, quiet your crowded soul, and fill you anew with strength and hope. As you engage the wisdom here, a revived version of you will emerge—one that: • finds healing from past trauma and loss; • breaks free from overthinking and catastrophizing; • grows in trust of God’s good plans; • navigates relationships with wisdom and confidence; and • learns to love God, yourself, and others from a place of wholeness. This refreshing reality awaits on the other side of your heart rehabilitation.
