Books Becoming Resilient: How to Move through Suffering and Come Back Stronger by Donna Gibbs (Author), Gary Chapman (Foreword)

"Becoming Resilient: How to Move through Suffering and Come Back Stronger" by Donna Gibbs is a compassionate guide that offers practical strategies for navigating and overcoming life's inevitable suffering. Drawing from her experience as a professional Christian counselor, Gibbs provides insights and real-life stories to help readers understand the nature of suffering and develop resilience.

The book emphasizes that suffering—whether due to grief, loss, rejection, or trauma—is a universal part of life that can either break us or be a stepping stone toward growth. Gibbs recommends telling the whole story of your pain, redefining suffering through a broader perspective, and setting healthy emotional boundaries to protect oneself. She stresses the importance of maintaining good self-care habits like rest, exercise, laughter, and spiritual practices to stay well during difficult times.
