Author Lydia Chorpening touched my heart deeply in her book Bigger Than Impossible.  She does not just live to tell the courage we can have to believe the wondrous works of God but has resurrected her life and spirit from a painful past of rejection, seemingly insignificance in the eyes of many, and an array of fears and anxiety.  As she determined to boldly not allow the past to define her you will find strength in her words for they come from deep within her spirit man exhorting you to trust God and allow Him to do a deep work in you through your perseverance.  She states "Rather than continuing in my depressed state I now have wholeness and justification to allocate to the oppressed."As she takes you back to lessons learned throughout her childhood, her wisdom as a minister and teacher will light your path and hopefully give you the same resolve it gave me in that we must never look at our circumstances through eyes of human limitation.  Her escape from literal legalism has found great liberality in believing for the impossible.Her life now, though she continues to proclaim the Word, is not without human suffering and trials.  A terminally ill husband has not stopped her fortitude and through it all you will benefit greatly from her now healthy mindset and her coaching-like style in teaching you too how to not only carry on but blossom even in the midst of pain.  Faith, God's peace, love, and dying to oneself are just some of her many things she declares in this book.In this transforming book, here are a few nuggets she shares to wet your appetite:-Much blaming, unforgiveness and bitterness stem from placing undue expectations on others.-The first things that keep us from hearing God's Word with responsiveness are our unrepentant hearts, our unsurrendered souls and the pride we hold onto.- Faith can only become triumphant when it has passed through tests of life and has remained steadfast.-When one fails to allow God's characteristics to develop in their lives they cannot expect to fulfill the call God has given them.I know this book will strengthen you, and moreso; it will remove any apathy from your life and give you a renewed hope.  I very highly recommend this for every household as discouragement will hit and we will all need the fuel to continue.  This, in a sense, is high octane fuel for the soul.
