Summary

When everything goes wrong in life, it’s easy to give in to the pain, frustration, and anger that threaten to overwhelm us. Though we may feel like giving up, there is life and hope after our world gets turned upside down. Westfall says that it’s often in the face of fear and loss that we truly learn to live with courage, faith, and joy.
