De: Courtney Pray Duke, Shelley Giglio - foreword, Louie Giglio - foreword

Faced with an unimaginable loss, Courtney Pray Duke invites you to discover that when life knocks you down, Jesus is nearer than ever, reaching out to help you get back up and stand strong.

Have you found yourself wondering, Will I ever be able to make sense of the disappointments and disasters I've endured? Can I trust God with my pain? Will my life ever be restored? Perhaps you've done everything you can to rebuild the ruins of your life, but true restoration still seems so far off, if not impossible. And She Got Up is a firsthand account of being knocked down by tragedy and loss while relying on the power and presence of Jesus to rise and heal.

After being widowed at twenty-nine, Courtney Pray Duke found herself lying next to her husband's grave feeling like she couldn't go on. But she had three young kids who needed her and a faithful God who she knew could do anything.

Told in four sections—The Breaking, The Making, The Rising, and The Sending—Courtney walks readers through her decades long journey from devastation to the abundant life God had in store for her.

And She Got Up will help readers

• find hope in their greatest devastation through an honest and vulnerable account of Courtney's personal journey, coupled with the reality and the truth of who God is and what He is able to do.
• move forward amid pain that can be paralyzing, helping them to believe God for their own miracle, no matter how hopeless their circumstance may seem.
• gain confidence that God is available and able to help anyone get back up and live an abundant life of hope, purpose, and peace.

God sees you now, right where you are. His heart is for you. It's time to rise, to heal, to find purpose and joy again.
