What do you do when your life has changed in an instant, or through years of quiet wearing down? Trauma, in all its forms, can shake the foundation of even the strongest faith.
Firm Foundation: Resilience After Trauma is written for those who have walked through loss, upheaval, or deep disappointment and are longing for steadiness again. Whether you are in the middle of a storm, just beginning to recognize wounds, or learning how to live differently on the other side, this book offers a gentle place for rebuilding.
Using the metaphor of home-foundation, room, and restoration-Bonnie McDonald weaves biblical truth, personal stories, and practical encouragement to help you tend to what has been changed and strengthen what remains. This is not a quick-fix guide or a checklist for healing, but an invitation to slow down, reflect, and rebuild with intention.
With space to write, pause, and pray, Firm Foundation allows readers to discover that healing is possible, resilience can grow, and a life rooted in faith can be rebuilt one faithful step at a time.
