This book was really helpful for me in this moment. as a healthcare provider I've seen a lot over the last two years and experienced firsthand the devastation of covid19. I applaud John Eldredge for tackling this subject so eloquently and yet so simply. Just loved it!

I read this shortly after reading Get Your Life Back and am struck by the long history of spiritual richness that I was mostly unaware of. Eldredge is like a prophet for a modern monasticism that seems like the only valid answer to this hour.

John Eldredge has spend a lot of time over the past few years giving us soul care helps in podcasts, events and his book "Get Your Life Back." "Resilient" is Get Your Life Back 2.0!" It's a great read with lots of great helps, prayers, tips, etc. to for the weary soul. Thanks John. Maybe the next book is 3.0!!

This put words to what I’ve been feeling. Resilient gives really helpful context for what’s been going on around me and why. And better yet, what to do about it! This is deepening my connection to God in fresh ways. Thank you!
