Tragedy can strike at any time, and individual tragedies can be harrowing, painful experiences in the moment. Yet after tragedy, we can be left with feelings of doubt, guilt, grief, and loss, and the suffering can seem to have no end. We may even question our deepest beliefs.

Sometimes I Wake an Atheist is a collection of hopeful personal stories of tragedy-but stories that end in triumph thanks to an abiding faith and trust in God. Author Linda Cunningham and other women of faith share their true stories of being impacted by the variable courses of life-altering events. Each uniquely personal and true story is an exertion to propel you into realizing that life beyond uncharted tragedy is both amazing and joyous.

God is able to take our heartaches and guide them into faith with thanksgiving. He takes our suffering and coverts it into hope. God will meet you in your every heartfelt loss and sustain you through himself-he will never leave you.
