“Far more than being a beautiful expression of Jay Hewitt's life, this book reveals the beauty of being human. We tend to forget that to be weakest in the flesh is to be strongest in God's Spirit. Jay's vulnerability powerfully illustrates what it looks like to lean into Jesus in the darkest of times. If you're looking to learn more about being resilient and trusting God in the dark, I highly recommend this book. It will make you laugh and cry, and it will also provide helpful tools for trusting God when you don't understand His ways. Jay's integrity and willingness to keep learning what it looks like to trust Jesus have encouraged me in my own walk with God. This book will not disappoint!” (from Amazon)

Even on the days you struggle to stay strong, you can live a resilient and hopeful life. After receiving a devastating brain cancer diagnosis, Jay Hewitt had a decision to make: Should he give up on faith or practice what he preached and trust that with God all things are possible? In I Am Weak, I Am Strong, Jay chronicles his journey of turning toward Jesus even when circumstances urged him to turn away. Faith in action for Jay included competing in an IRONMAN triathlon (documented in the new Amazon Prime Video Dear Hero) while undergoing cancer treatment. His race was a grand gesture of love for his young daughter--and a call to resilience for all of us. I Am Weak, I Am Strong reminds us that our true "superpower" comes from God. As you read Jay's honest and inspiring words, you will: Understand the counterintuitive wisdom of strength in weaknessLearn to discern the voice of God and his calling for your lifeLive with resilience in the face of any trialDiscover how God moves mountains--even when you least expect itFeel empowered to pray authentically, boldly, and continually For anyone who is searching for hope in anxiety and grief, needs validation and compassion in times of doubt, is curious about faith in the face of death, or longs for a more authentic relationship with God, I Am Weak, I Am Strong will teach you that faith grows from the freedom to doubt. Strength grows from realizing how weak we are on our own. And light grows when we follow God's dreams for us, even through the darkness.
