THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS BOUNCING BACK.
WHETHER THAT SENTENCE MADE YOU FROWN IN DISAGREEMENT OR SIGH WITH RELIEF THAT SOMEONE FINALLY GETS IT, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. THERE’S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT RESILIENCE THESE DAYS, BUT TRUE RESILIENCE ISN’T JUST MAINTAINING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE IN THE FACE OF OBSTACLES OR RETURNING TO WHERE YOU WERE BEFORE THE FALL. IT’S A LIFELONG PRACTICE OF FALLING, LEARNING AND RISING AGAIN.
IT’S ABOUT BECOMING WHO YOU’RE MEANT TO BE.

“Charaia Rush writes with a rare mix of honesty and tenderness that makes you feel seen. The Myth of Bouncing Back is not about pretending you were never burned, but about finding the courage to rebuild on the very ground that broke you. From beginning to end, her words remind us that what rises from the ruins can be even more sacred than what was lost.”
according to my homegirls
“This book is a clarion call for every weary soul who refuses to settle for survival. It declares that resilience is not a return but a rebirth, shaping us into who God destined us to be, fully His in every stage of our growth and transformation.”
”
“In the midst of the blows that life deals, The Myth of Bouncing Back is a must-read for any Christian wrestling with the ebbs and flows of hope and faith. It is an invitation into a new definition of resilience, encouraging readers to draw from the deep well of God’s heart, abide in Him, and dwell in His courts in the fullness of ourselves. Rush, in her signature way, calls us out and in, holding up a mirror to our scars and a window to His glory
