About the Book



Profoundly inspiring, compellingly vulnerable, and surprisingly funny, Suffer Strong offers readers the hard-won insights of beloved authors Katherine and Jay Wolf and incorporates practical strategies for weathering suffering and embracing resilience with winsomeness and joy.



Book Synopsis



Is it possible to embrace suffering as a privilege, rather than a punishment? Beloved authors Katherine and Jay Wolf offer readers the bold invitation to trust a known God with an unknown future, as well as practical insights into surviving anything by redefining how we think about everything.

After miraculously surviving a near-fatal brainstem stroke at age 26, as told in their memoir, Hope Heals, life for Katherine and Jay Wolf changed forever - and so did the way they viewed God, the world, and themselves in it. There was no going back to normal after such a tragedy. Yet Katherine and Jay learned that suffering is not the end, but rather the beginning of a new story.

In Suffer Strong, they invite us into this new story as they share universal lessons and helpful practices that will help us to:

  • Recognize we are being equipped for an uncommon assignment, not cursed by our story.
  • Transform our unmet expectations into brave anticipations.
  • Disrupt the myth that joy can only be found in a pain-free life.
  • Rewrite the narrative of hard circumstances by turning our definitions of suffering into declarations of strength.
  • And, ultimately, thrive even in the lives we never imagined living.

The message of Suffer Strong is life-changing!

How could a book about suffering make me excited to face the trials and challenges in my life? It’s because the whole message of this book is helping us survive any hard thing by redefining how we think about everything. God has used the Wolfs’ message of the good/hard life to turn my perspective upside-down when it comes to my difficult life circumstances. No, I haven’t experienced a debilitating stroke as a young Mom or walked as the spouse of someone through that kind of suffering, but the treasures they have learned in the dark places translate into the hard parts of all of our stories. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. You will laugh, you’ll cry, and I bet you’ll come away excited about all the good things God has for you in your suffering.

A Must Read

I'll be honest, I stalled to begin reading this book. I ordered it & then the lovely cover just stared at me. What if I don't want to suffer strong? What if I can't suffer strong? I'm so glad I finally started reading it. In true Jay & Katherine fashion, it is written with compassion, honesty, & their sweet sense of humor. I highly recommend it for anyone living here on planet earth. Suffering is inevitable but this book gives practical, gentle, advice on how to not just survive but thrive. It is a beautiful testimony of God's faithfulness and a couple's determination to cling to Him & each other.

Wisdom seeps from the pages of Suffer Strong. Whether you read it as a sequel to Hope Heals or as a stand alone - you will be changed in your perspective, perseverance and person. Suffer Strong is an anthem to living life well no matter what has come your way. An inspiring book that addresses the reality of life with limitations through brave, honest, funny story and reflection. The way Katherine and Jay cheer readers on to preserver by re-framing and redefining the curve balls life throws at one, is a message we all need to hear.

From Chapter 3 - Joyful Rebellion: Redefining Celebration "Jay and I no longer celebrate desired outcomes that may or may not happen in the way we envision. But we do celebrate, because if we wait, we just might wait until it's too late to celebrate at all." Jay and Katherine write this lovely book together. They trade off every other chapter and write from their hearts the lessons they learned since Katherine's stroke. Their book disrupts the myth that joy can only be found in a pain-free life. Healing from a chronic illness I have seen dark days...days of hopelessness...days of pain and dread...days of wanting to be who I was before I got sick and sometimes missing the things that were right in front of me because my body demanded so much attention. Not only did the sickness beat me up, but my own thoughts of trying to be my old self got the best of me many days. As I continue to heal and as symptoms subside I can look out now and see the world in front of me. It's quite beautiful and the truth is the glue that held me together was my faith....Jesus...the very thing that hold Jay and Katherine together. The chapters redefine limitations, beauty (my favorite chapter), community, calling, hope and so much more. This book is a great tool for any life change. May it bring comfort, encouragement and hope. Jay and Katherine...thank you for championing this message. Your strength and courage shine bright!
