Life has a way of dealing us cards that we are not prepared to play. However, God is faithful and will always strengthen us for every situation we face. He is with us as we play the cards we are dealt, making sure that we win every time. In this book, you will have a front row seat into the life of a true overcomer. God gave Cynthia strength to endure every hardship that entered her life and He will do the same for you. God took what the enemy meant for evil and turned it into good. He transformed her trials into triumphs and gave her the victory. As you read this book, you will be encouraged and provoked to believe that all things are possible with God, if you only believe and work toward the goals you set for yourself.

We can be quick to pray for people around the world in times of trauma, but has prayer become a way to avoid taking real action? Are we reluctant to be fully aware of the suffering around us? Trevor Hudson challenges us to see, hear, and respond to the needs of others, recognizing the living Christ in all things. Hudson designed an 8-day program—a pilgrimage—to help all Christians cultivate the depth of compassion Jesus demonstrated. Through this program, pilgrims learn to be present wherever they are and with whomever they meet. "We seldom become more compassionate without working at it," writes Hudson. "One practical way to cultivate compassion involves building the pilgrimage experience into our lives. …The risen Christ meets us in the lives of those who suffer." Join Trevor Hudson in this exploration of how to love your neighbor as yourself and choose compassion as part of your daily life.
