Book Synopsis

Are you battling chronic struggles--whether physical, mental, emotional, relational, or social? Are they eating away at your faith? Sydney Anne Bennett has been there.

She knows what it is to live in a body that is unraveling, a world that doesn't understand, and a church that doesn't always know what to say. With compassion, wit, and quiet strength, Sydney invites you to remember that some of life's fiercest battles are fought flat on your back--and not one of them is wasted.

In Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken, Sydney shares her story of becoming disabled just two weeks after her honeymoon and learning to live with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)--a condition that disrupts the brain's ability to send correct signals to the body, resulting in daily seizures, mobility loss, and chronic pain.

Learning to live with this disability, as well as the loss and pain that comes with it, has been one of her greatest struggles as well as the way in which God is building her strength. But Sydney doesn't just talk about disability--she lives with it, coaches on it, and laughs through it, inviting her readers to join her journey. Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken aims to:

• discover practical strategies for coping with chronic struggles and limitations;
• make peace with questions and embrace the daily fight for faith;
• uncover strength in weakness and dignity in dependence; and
• receive heartfelt hope and encouragement to keep going--even when healing doesn't come.

Sydney will be your unafraid guide through whatever valley you are walking through, normalizing doubt and the daily fight for faith, and recognizing the presence of God there.
