Have you ever felt like everything in you wanted to fly, but your feet were tethered? Like you were doomed to walk while others around you seemed to fly? Like you believed God could make it better, but weren't sure you really trusted him to?Amy believed, but she didn't trust God. Relying on her own wits made for a lot of falls. Her first four decades of life were colored by attempts to ignore the damage of childhood sexual abuse, aided by her own naïve belief that, if she had good intentions, others would too. While the enemy stole and destroyed, she never gave such strategies a single thought. Thankfully, that is not where the story ended. In her brokenness, she was challenged to look again at the whole story of God, and it changed everything. Amy began to live like she believed God was the only one who knew the way out of the mire and muck that bound her feet and story. Almost 20 years later, she shares the journey of becoming still, listening, and learning to trust, even in the dark. From painful past, to hard won truth, to emerging redemption, she offers readers courage and hope, and a call to persistence: pick yourself up and walk on into the plans of a Big God.

The author shares a series of tests along with insights from entrepreneurs on how to investigate the viability of a new business idea before trying to launch the business.

"At once beautiful and heartbreaking, Aaron Philip found a way to make me laugh even as I choked up, found a way to bring on my empathy without ever allowing me to feel sorry for him.

His honest, often funny stories of triumph—despite physical difficulties, poverty, and other challenges—are as inspiring as they are eye-opening.
