Stuck in Reverse: Finding Joy in the Middle of Weird

Summary

This audiobook is tremendously open and raw, the author not sugar coating her experiences nor her reactions to them. A horrific mistake shreds her family and threatens to destroy everyone and everything she cares about. So what do you do when you're stuck in reverse, trapped in a life that's so bizarre, no one would believe it? With humor and honesty, Susan Louise Gabriel takes us on a jaw-dropping journey that reveals how God uses extraordinary experiences and unimaginably painful events to shape our lives into a masterpiece. False accusations, attempted suicide, life-altering medication side effects, illness, death, depression, and personality changes punctuate Susan's life and destroy hope. She retraces her steps from a low of total disbelief in God - through calamities, hardships, and weird experiences - to arrive at joy and an unshakable faith in God. It is within adversity that Susan begins to understand God's love, the power of faith, and what an intimate relationship with God looks like. She finds that God's grace is so abundant, he gives us the opportunity to start over again - multiple times, if necessary - and takes care of us every step of the way, even when we don't feel his presence. Susan ultimately learns how to let go and trust God with her life, hear God's voice, and trust God's timing. Narrated by Ione Butler, this inspirational autobiography is a message of hope to others who have struggled to overcome extreme adversity, conquer depression, find their life's highest purpose, and turn an upended life the right way around again. Stuck in Reverse has been described by readers as a "well-written, funny, sad, terrifying, inspirational, and powerful true story about a family that keeps you turning page after page to find out what happens next".
