We live in a fallen and broken world full of disappointments and the loss of dreams.

If there is one thing that continues to surprise me as I follow Jesus, it's the difficulty of the journey, the unexpected delays, the detours, the disappointments, and the waiting. Despite what I know about God, I still catch myself taken aback by the amount of suffering endured in the pursuit of one's calling. It is my hope that this book inspires hope in the hearts of followers of Jesus who have encountered suffering as they have pursued obedience to Christ.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStill Standing \u003c\/i\u003eis an updated edition, previously published with the title \u003ci\u003eStripped\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLina AbuJamra \u003c\/b\u003eis a pediatric ER doctor, now practicing telemedicine, and founder of Living With Power Ministries.
