learning to live with the physical injuries of being badly beaten and stabbed while trying to save a man’s life, danny has walked for years with ongoing pain—and with it, a deepening nearness to god. suffering did not turn him away; it pressed him further into the cross and the heart of the father.

shelby, a very quiet woman, has tasted profound grief. she has walked through the suicide of both brothers and the loss of two husbands to illness, quietly pondering the things of god and life in her heart. sorrow did not silence her faith; it deepened her dependence on the lord.

both marked by trauma and grief, they found one common ground that could not be shaken: they loved the lord jesus christ and refused to compromise the faith once delivered unto the saints. out of these roads of suffering, the lord knit their lives together to bear a simple testimony—that in every part of life, the only sure foundation is “jesus christ, and him crucified,” allowing god to lead them in his will and overcome all.
