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.
