Building a Resilient Life

Reviews

Building a Resilient Life is filled with Rebekah's powerful testimony and wisdom on how to practice courage and cling to God in a world that feels unsteady and heavy. I felt her humility and love on every page, like a friend wanting to impart her years of tear-soaked experiences with vulnerability and rawness. She doesn't promote a 'put your head in the sand and pretend it's not there' approach to living, but quite the opposite. She urges us, as people practicing the way of Jesus, to press in to the hardest places--exposing our fears, pains, and anxieties and how they can teach us and drive us toward God.

Rebekah Lyons is a one-of-a-kind woman who has compassion for all that we have in common. This book on resilience is incredibly important in the complex world we all share. While we live in a world of division, we share the same emotions, fears, and unavoidable periods of suffering. What we don't share is the capacity to deal with those debilitating aspects of our lives and ways to rise above those periods of chaos. This book is written for everyone, no matter what you are dealing with. I wish I had access to this book during my periods of unspeakable loss, cancer, and the failures that continue to haunt me with regret. There are paths through the storms, and Rebekah's faith, wisdom, and experience can help guide you through them.

The last few years have been overwhelming for us all. No one has been left untouched. And many are struggling to move beyond the survival malaise and into the life that Jesus offers. In this deeply inspiring yet practical book, Rebekah Lyons shows, with compassion, skill, and love, how to build a life of resilience. I believe this is the book so many have been waiting for to take steps to cultivating a resilient heart.

To become durable--to develop resilience--is to live into the infinite depth of eternity that God has set in our hearts. It is with this vision of the ever-deepening, eternal kingdom of God in her sights that Rebekah Lyons has provided us a wise, accessible offering that leads us not merely to survive but to flourish. Read this expectantly and with hope, but not without the willingness to do the necessary work that God longs to join us in as we become what God has imagined before the foundation of the world.
Curt Thompson, MD, author of The Soul of Desire, The Soul of Shame, and The Deepest Place

We all face painful challenges in our lives, and sometimes it takes someone who is willing to share their own hurt before we can make sense of our own. Rebekah opens up her heart and her life with the kind of beautiful vulnerability that will make you ache and reveal to you a path to healing for your own difficult stories.
