5 Critical Steps to Surviving a Personal Crisis or Shipwreck

5 Critical Steps to Surviving a Personal Crisis or Shipwreck

A Guide to Navigating Life's Storms with Faith and Resilience

Maybe it's 2 a.m. and you're doing math in your head that won't come out right. Maybe you found messages you were never supposed to see. Maybe a doctor said a word you can't stop hearing. Maybe your child hasn't called you in six months, and you don't know why.

Wherever your storm is, this book won't tell you to just have more faith and everything will work out. That's true in the long run. It's not enough on the night your world is caving in.

This is a practical, faith-grounded guide for anyone in the middle of a real crisis, a divorce, a job loss, an addiction, a diagnosis, a business failure, a betrayal, built on one of the most dramatic survival stories in Scripture: Paul's shipwreck in Acts 27. Fourteen days of storm. Every person on board lived. This book pulls five steps out of that account and applies them, plainly and specifically, to whatever is breaking apart in your life right now.

Inside, you'll find:

• Be Careful and Cautious of Your Counsel — how to tell the difference between people who genuinely want to help you and people who are drawn to your crisis for what they can get out of it
• Be Consistent in Your Character and Faith — how to hold onto who you are when the pressure is pulling the worst out of you
• Take Care of Your Physical Condition — why your body matters as much as your spirit does right now, and what to actually do about it
• Be Content with Little or Nothing — how to grieve what you've lost without deciding that losing it means you failed
• Be Confident That Your Journey Will Continue — why this crisis is a chapter, not the ending
• 
  

This isn't a book of platitudes. It names things plainly, asks hard questions, and gives you something to actually do, not just something to feel.
