UNDEFEATED:
From Trial to Triumph

How to Stop Fighting the Wrong Battles and Start Living Victoriously

Interacting with a Big God in a messy world can often leave us scratching our heads in confusion. How can we explain the horror of human suffering in light of an all-powerful and perfectly loving God? Whether it’s tragedies we hear about in the news, struggles our friends and family face, or our own private pain, life this side of Eternity can really beat up our faith and cause us to question and doubt what we believe. A shaky faith fuels our feelings of defeat as we get trampled by life’s trials.

Overcoming defeat and getting on the road to triumph requires that we recognize the nature of the true battle we are in and learn how to claim the victory we were meant to possess. We can live victoriously when we learn how to stop fighting the wrong battles with ineffective strategies. When we know the plans of our enemy, the power of our God, and our own true identity, we can live UNDEFEATED even in the midst of our trials.

Every Friday for years, hundreds of people have joined an online writing flash mob called Five Minute Friday – a community of word lovers who throw caution to the wind and just write without worrying if it’s just right.

These are their stories. One shared prompt. Five unedited minutes.

They silence the inner critic and write like we used to run as kids – with abandon and delight, not caring what anyone else thinks. It’s like free therapy.

Everyone is welcome!

Because if you only have five minutes to write, don’t spend them defeated. Spend them writing. All proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to The Vine School & Take Action in South Africa.

Susan Shipe compiled 150 blog posts from the Five Minute Friday community for this book. The stories found in these pages span a diverse range of experiences but share a common thread: a love for the bravely written word.
