Resilient, Tools for Getting Up After Life Knocks You Down is a forty-year composite picture on how everyday people can “get up one more time” after a life disappointment or misfortune has knocked them to the ground. Resilient addresses some of the most important experiences and seasons of life. On nearly every page the concepts of accepting reality, living with and through pain, asking for help, accountability, thankfulness, and inviting God to transform personal lives and entire communities are explained. Resilient provides the reader with a wealth of practical information (examples, stories, multiple helpful resources and, self-administered questionnaires) that helps a person ‘move the needle’ of their life in a positive direction and live with a richness they have never known. As stated by one reviewer, “Effler is the mentor of the printed page.”
