A Stroke, a Savior, and Surrender is a raw and hope-filled reflection on what happens when life is shattered in an instant-and faith becomes more than words.
After a life-altering stroke, Amy Tisdale was forced into a journey she never asked for: one marked by physical limitations, uncertainty, and the loss of the life she once knew. In the midst of grief and unanswered prayers, she discovered that healing does not always come in the way we expect-and that surrender is not giving up, but leaning in.
This book is not a story of instant miracles or easy faith. It is a testimony of learning to trust God when answers are delayed, strength is limited, and the future feels unclear. Through honest storytelling, spiritual reflection, and moments of hard-won grace, Amy invites readers into a deeper understanding of what it means to rely fully on Christ when self-reliance is no longer an option.
A Stroke, a Savior, and Surrender is written for anyone walking through suffering, recovery, disability, or seasons where faith feels fragile. It offers reassurance that God is present in the waiting, faithful in the rebuilding, and powerful even in weakness.
This is a story of loss-but more than that, it is a story of redemption, resilience, and the quiet strength found when we finally let go and place our lives fully in God's hands.
