In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

Henry Winkler, launched into prominence as “The Fonz” in the beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is. Brilliant, funny, and widely regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s simply not the case, he’s really just grateful to be here), Henry shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you.

There were conversations that they didn’t know they needed to have, deep-rooted fears that affected how they communicated, and seasons of change that put their marriage to the test.

At age forty Ali landed her dream job as a talk show host, but after only a few weeks on the job, she began feeling out of sorts. Exhaustion, brainfog, hairthinning, slow digestion, and sleep issues took over, and instead of excusing the chronic discomfort as "aging," she decided to take back her life. Through research, prayer, interviews, and product-testing, she made dramatic lifestyle changes and created her brand, RE/SHAPE, to show other women how to live to their fullest in mind, health, beauty, and soul.

Publisher's summary
The first thing you will notice when you meet Kechi Okwuchi is her scars. One of just two survivors of a devastating plane crash that killed more than 100 people, 16-year-old Kechi was left with third-degree burns over 65 percent of her body. More than My Scars is her incredible story. A story of not just surviving impossible odds but thriving in a world that is too often caught up with how we look on the outside rather than seeing that our true value is within.
Now in her early 30s, Kechi has spent the last 16 years refusing to be defined by her trauma. Follow her as she decides for herself what role her scars will play in her life before society decides for her. Her strong sense of identity, rooted in seeing herself the way God sees her, has allowed her to live authentically in a world that constantly seeks to define us by its ever-changing (and ever-shallow) standards. Kechi's story will inspire you to love and accept yourself as you are and confidently present your true self to the world.

People often say, "I feel like I've been run over by a truck." Katie actually was. On a sunny morning bike ride in Brooklyn, 24-year-old Katie McKenna was forever changed when she was run over by an 18-wheeler. Being crushed under a massive semi wasn't something Katie should have survived. After 10 hours of emergency surgery, she woke to find herself in a body and a life that would never be the same.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 85
Julia Fox Garrison refused to listen to the professionals she called Dr. Jerk and Dr. Panic, who - after she suffered a massive, debilitating stroke at age thirty-seven - told her she’d probably die, or to Nurse Doom, who ignored her emergency call button. Instead she heeded the advice of kind, gifted Dr. Neuro, who promised her he would “treat your mind as well as your body.” Julia figured if she could somehow manage to get herself into a wheelchair, at least she’d always find parking. But after many, many months of hospitalization and rehab, Julia not only got into a wheelchair, but she got back out.

When Amy B. Scher was struck with undiagnosed late-stage, chronic Lyme disease, the best physicians in America labeled her condition incurable and potentially terminal. Deteriorating rapidly, she went on a search to save her own life - from the top experts in Los Angeles and the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis to a state-of-the-art hospital in Chicago. After exhausting all of her options in the US, she discovered a possible cure - but it was highly experimental, available only in India, and had as much of a probability of killing her as it did of curing her.

"Okay, Lord, you can have him. But if he must die, I want it to be for something big. I want someone’s life to be changed forever." This is what Laura Sobeich prayed when she found out her 17-year-old son had only one year to live. With this desperate prayer, she released her son to God’s will. At that point, Zach Sobiech was just another teenager battling cancer. When his mother told him to think about writing good-bye letters to family and friends, he decided instead to write songs. One of them, "Clouds", captured hearts and changed not one life but millions, making him an international sensation.

Chad Veach directs listeners away from clichéd Sunday school answers that fail to offer real comfort or provide faith-building insights.

Touching Storyline
I loved this storyline of how Kechi sees herself after recovery from burn, it really motivate anyone who passed through any bad experience, who feels like their world collapsed on their feet. it is a true story shows one can choose to leave positively beyond the circumstances. I like the fact that the life of Kechi never stops because of experience. The burning experience was another form of jungle which Kechi had to fight and at the end she was rewarded with more drive and resistance beyond measure.furthermore her spirit was fueled up with more life courage and she started having a personal encounter with God.No matter how hard it was she never throw the towel but she continued persuading her career, and nothing was coming to herlife on the silver platter, She worked hard even though she was still in the recovery process and show up when needed too. I was also impressed by the AGT performances, in the beginning it was not promising but with her perseverance she brake her own record and recieved a golden buzzer. Kechi also have a strong family support system applause to them,they support and also let her be on her own, decide for herself. indeed she is brave.❤ the narrator matches of my favourite writer chimamanda ngozi adiche, not bored by this book.

Very sad situation that was turned into a true testament for the love that God has for us and the faith that Kechi has. Kechi has shared something wonderful with her readers. God bless her and may her story give hope to those who have none.

This book really had me looking at the trials of my life in a different mindset. If Kechi can endure what she went through, then surely I can get through my meager trials. This book inspired me to push on in hard times. Her story of triumph is 100% a mind changer. 💯
