“Cortney’s and Becky’s stories . . . reassure us that in our difficult times, choosing God’s way, even if not the most popular path, is worth it.” —Stephanie Fast, author of She Is Mine
One woman’s husband confessed to a secret life of multiple affairs and addiction. Another woman’s daughter died of leukemia shortly after her adoption was finalized.
Awash in their grief, Cortney Donelson and Becky Huber would have been justified in living a life of anger, bitterness, and sorrow after going through what can only be described as a wife’s—and mother’s—worst nightmares. But as Christians, these women were called to live set apart, to choose unexpected responses despite their heart-wrenching circumstances. And they chose wisely.
For every Christian, faith can often feel uncomfortable. Fighting for hope is hard, and being set apart for God’s glory may feel isolating. Indeed, most aspects of the Christian life can be downright messy. In The Outlier’s Choice, authors Becky Huber and Cortney Donelson make an inspiring case to choose the unexpected—to go against popular beliefs and walk through struggles in discomfort, becoming bold outliers for God’s glory.
“The Outlier’s Choice is chock-full of wisdom nuggets that will encourage you to find purpose beyond your pain . . . Thank you, Becky and Cortney, for your bold transparency that will empower thousands to choose an eternal focus while here on earth.” —Christy Neal, author of Don’t Ever Tell and podcast host of Everyone Has a Voice
“You will think of these two women’s stories long after you put the book down. Maybe, just maybe, they will light your path when you experience the darkness.” —Sally Meredith, coauthor of Two Becoming One
