The Survivors Club
The Survivors Club by Ben Sherwood is a great read!
Sherwood asks two primary questions: What does it really take to survive? and What kind of survivor are you? (Survivor is defined as "anyone who faces and overcomes adversity, harship, illness, or physical or emotional trauma.")
The book addresses surviving everything from a plane crash to a high altitude fall to a sudden storm to cancer to a knitting needle through the heart to the Holocaust!
For instance, when you get on your next domestic flight, your chance of being killed is one in 60 million. That means you could fly every day for the next 164,000 years before you would perish in a crash. AND, there are things that you can do to increase your odds of survival even more. (And no, not flying, is not one of the precautions.)
Incidentally, people who go to church regularly live around seven years longer than people who don't.
Pick this one up.

Does that mean you can survive coming home from work to find your wife of 34 years has left? Can you survive the fact that her lies have alienated your adult children to the point that you haven't seen or spoken to them or your grandchildren for over a year although they all live within 5 miles of you? Does that mean you can survive the fact that her actions have destroyed what you worked for all your adult life? That you have worked for 36 years and have nothing to show for it?
Sometimes it doesn't feel like you can.
Man, I'm sorry to hear about what's going on in your life. I DO believe that with God's help you can not only survive even this, but that God will bring good from it. I'm going to pray for you now. Appreciate you sharing what you did.
