What happens when your whole world changes in the blink of an eye? In the face of tragic circumstances, the framework of life is no longer the same. For Timothy, that day came when he crashed his mountain bike in Rotorua’s Redwood Forest. The injury he received caused him to lose 92 percent of his body motor functions. Despite the challenges and heartache that come from suffering, grief and loss, in this book Timothy presents a way forward. We all need strategies that bring hope instead of despair. Here, woven together with a raw and poignant story, you’ll discover practical and spiritual tips to help navigate the storms of life. Timothy offers perspectives on investing in other people’s lives, improving your own wellbeing and supporting those who travel the road alongside us. I cried. I smiled. I pondered. I praised God. But most of all this book has inspired me to be a better person. Whether you are a support worker, a pastor or chaplain, a health professional, a family member, a neighbour or a friend, you must read this book. – Charles Hewlett, National Leader, Baptist Union of New Zealand, and author of Hurting Hope: What parents feel when their children suffer Timothy’s story is filled with hope and love. The message that rings out is that our sufferings and struggles build resilience, but our character and values are what define us. A comforting and encouraging read for anyone going through tough times, which is all of us at some stage. – Carolyn Wilson, physiotherapist and senior academic staff member, Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology
