Publisher's summary
Includes audiobook-exclusive commentary from the author as she narrates!
Where is God when life is filled with so much suffering? How can I be sure of God's presence and affection, even in my pain? Can you believe in God and still wrestle with questions and doubt? These are the questions honestly explored in Relentless.
Whether in struggle, illness, death, or failure, the presence of pain causes us to question the presence of God. We pray and watch the sky, crossing our spiritual fingers for hardcore proof of God's nearness. And in the silence, we sense something more sinister: perceived abandonment.
But what if we could collect evidence that God hasn't left us? What if we could be absolutely certain of God's presence and affection, strengthening our faith against any assault?
Woven throughout Scripture sits a single, extraordinary theme: God is with us. Ours is a God who speaks through burning bushes and leads through pillars of fire, who responds to a broken world by giving himself.
Like the Old Testament story of Joshua's altar of 12 stones, Relentless delivers 12 key biblical stories that demonstrate God's unfailing presence. Each chapter offers an invitation to identify a "stone" in your own life as tangible evidence of God's nearness. With the last word, you will have discovered 12 markers of your own, an altar of memory to carry you through questions and losses, even ones yet to come.
For the truth-seekers, those drowning in impossible questions, and those who find themselves swallowed up by the dark, Relentless is an invitation to search for divine presence in our everyday stories. With Michele Cushatt's engaging narrative style, this transformational journey reassures us that God, indeed, is with us.

With enough humor to ease the rawness of the story, Undone takes you on a roller-coaster two-year journey through the unexpectedness of life. A look back makes Michele long for a do-over, the chance to make fewer mistakes and leave less of a mess to clean up. A look forward makes Michele wonder if all her attempts to control life have robbed her of the vibrancy of it. And in the middle of this internal chaos, she finds her once-pristine house filled with the sights and sounds of three small, uncontainable children who just want to be loved.

From the moment a woman wakes until she falls, exhausted, on her pillow, one question plagues her at every turn: Am I enough? The pressure to do more, be more has never been more intense. Online marketing. Self-help books. Movies, magazines, and gym memberships. Even church attendance and social media streams have become a means of comparing ourselves to impossible standards. Am I pretty enough? Hip enough? Spiritual enough? We fear the answer is "No."

Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a season, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned at best and overwhelmed and hopeless at worst. We quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness and why he allows us to suffer and experience grief and loss. Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But after many tears, godly counseling, and prayerful seeking, she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God.

God has dreams - just for you. Becoming Myself is a hope-filled audiobook for anyone who wonders if her life will ever change - if she will ever change.

God desires to restore us, and he is able to restore us - the real us. As he heals our inner life he calls us to "rise to the occasion" of our lives.

Story
In her new book, Stasi Eldredge meets listeners in their painful realities and offers an invitation to a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world. This joy does not Pollyannaish-ly ignore life's heartache; rather, it insists that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. This kind of joy is present to both goodness and grief and interprets them in the light of heaven.

Story
Our world is chaotic and often feels dark and devoid of hope. And it’s not just the headlines we see every day. Our relationships are broken. A loved one’s health is failing. We’re disoriented and restless and wrestling with fear. These things are the reality of living in a fallen world. But our God is over that world. He is present in the midst of the daily ache of life. He loves us in the midst of that ache. In a series of 11 letters, Rebecca Reynolds writes to the lonely, the weary, the restless, and afraid and provides perspective and hope to find where God is in the midst of it.

Story
Are you weary? Worn out by the bills that keep stacking, a virus that keeps raging, or a heart that keeps aching? If so, the book of Esther brings welcome news: Relief will come! To be clear, you didn't ask for this struggle. You want to get past it. You don't know how much longer you can hold up. But what if God is with you in this difficult season? When life seems off the rails, remember this truth: the minute you bow your head to pray is the moment God lifts his hand to help.

Story
In Out of Sorts, Sarah Bessey, award-winning blogger and author of Jesus Feminist, helps us grapple with core Christian issues using a mixture of beautiful storytelling and biblical teaching. As she candidly shares her wrestlings with core issues - such as who Jesus is, what place the church has in our lives, how to disagree yet remain within a community, and how to love the Bible for what it is rather than what we want it to be - she teaches us how to walk courageously through our own tough questions.

Sometimes we make sacrifices to help us get ahead, to allow us more time with family, or because we believe in the cause. And then there are sacrifices in which we have no say, "Isaac experiences" as in Genesis 22, thrust upon us without warning or survival instructions.

Newlywed Laura Story thought she had control over the great life ahead of her. After all, she followed Jesus and had a promising new job as a worship leader. Why would God not want to fulfill her dreams? But when Laura and her husband, Martin, faced a brain tumor, infertility, and a son’s birth defect, she realized she’d been looking for a happiness that comes from circumstances, rather than a deeper joy that comes from God. Again and again, Laura had to surrender her vision for her life so she could embrace God’s vision.

Story
Most of us know what it's like to wait for God to change our circumstances. But whether we're waiting for physical healing, an emotional breakthrough, or better relationships, waiting is something we usually try to avoid. Why? Because waiting is painful and hard. The truth is it's also inevitable. In Still Waiting, Ann Swindell explores the depths of why God wants us to wait by chronicling her own compelling story of waiting for healing from an incurable condition.

Did Jesus have bad habits? In our culture we have a tendency to describe Jesus in ways that soften his revolutionary edge. Len Sweet uncovers and presents to us the offensive and scandalous Jesus described in the Bible. Did he disappear when people needed him most? Yes. Did he refuse to answer questions directly? Yes. Did Jesus offend the people of his day? Absolutely yes. Popular author and speaker Len Sweet examines the words and actions of Jesus and places them in context.

Finding grace in the everyday…Kara Tippetts knows the ordinary days of mothering four kids, the joy of watching her children grow . . . and the devastating reality of stage IV cancer. In The Hardest Peace, Kara doesn’t offer answers for when living is hard, but rather she asks us to join her in moving away from fear and control and toward peace and grace. Most of all, she draws us back to the God who is with us in the mundane and the suffering, and who shapes even our unmet expectations and pain into beauty.

Story
Every one of us sooner or later walks through hell. The hell of being hurt, the hell of hurting another. The hell of cancer, the hell of a reluctant, thunking shovel full of earth upon the casket of someone we deeply loved, the hell of betrayal, the hell of betraying, the hell of divorce, the hell of a kid in trouble...the hell of knowing that this year, like any year, may be our last. We all walk through hell. The point is not to come out empty-handed.... There is real and profound power in the suffering we endure if we transform that suffering into a more authentic, meaningful life.

Finding God and His comfort in the midst of pain.
I "accidentally" (by the grace of God!) stumbled across Michele Cushatt, and I've discovered the heart of love from our Heavenly Father flows through her pen straight to my own heart as I read her words. I think the reason why her words resonate so much with me is because she gives the reader permission to be human and broken while still reaching for hope at the same time. She states it well in the beginning of the book because she writes to readers who are "drowning in impossible questions that threaten to take down your faith." She writes to the "truth seeker who simply wants to know whether the God she's heard about isn't an illusion. And Michele writes to the one "who fears that your pain and losses are proof that God is disappointed in you, angry with you, and has left you." I read Michele's words in short bursts as I try to soak in all of the understanding, compassion, and hope she offers in the quest to show us the truth that GOD NEVER LEAVES! I'm learning that His love is truly relentless

Captivating
I love how Michele breaks down the covenant between God and Abram and how it is applicable to you and I today. The lengths that He has gone to in order to have an intimate relationship with us. If you’re broken and seeking and feeling like God is nowhere to be found, this is the book to read! Thank you Michele for sharing your journey, your pain and victory, in your pursuit to know Him more

Miracles in the Trauma
Raw. Truth. Beautifully transcribed. Evidence of the miracles of God in our journey on planet earth. Michele's honesty and gifted ability to weave her story into the fabric of your soul will have you looking for God's presence with each altar stone you erect. And praying...praying for her and praying for you.

Always best when the author also narrates
Such an excellent book to reveal how to push onward even when the enemy is trying to pull us down. Thank you Michele for being so vulnerable, open and honest with your journey so we don't feel alone when we are in the same trials.
This is one of those books that I will listen to over and over again because there is so many layers and so much we can glean from walk.

Found great encouragement here
I was drawn into Michelle’s story and resonated in multiple ways…what was deeply encouraging was the emphasis on God’s presence & relentless love in the midst of struggle, questions, pain, confusion, etc…God does not forsake us and the stories we live and are intertwined with are an opportunity to believe and embrace His great love. It is often the hardest parts of our journey where intimacy with Jesus grows. Michelle’s story is such a story and I highly recommend listening to the wisdom God has knit into her life. So encouraging!

Michele's choice to read her own story of God's presence in her life added weight and power to each word. Thank you, Michele! ❤ I recommended this book to a friend for us to read and discuss together, so I'll be reading it again with her!

Love story
I really love Michelle story and most of all her faith. Anytime we are going through it doesn’t feel good and most people do not push through. They give up and give in. Whatever that looks like it normally isn’t good. But Michelle faith is what kept me in the midst of my storm. Different story! Trusting God in the middle of a blizzard storm doesn’t always feel good. Actually it doesn’t feel good at all but knowing I have a Father I can lean on and depend on and He never lets me down is truly MY story. Thank you Michelle for being so transparent.
