Through the Eyes of a Lion Facing Impossible Pain Finding Incredible Power Levi Lusko Steven Furtick 0884704031801 Books Reviews

• This book tells the very messy story of losing a daughter. It does not tell you how to get over it or move on - the two biggest lies of grief counseling. Levi strips away any preconceptions we might have about suffering, revealing the only substance that really matters a transparent, raw, and very real relationship with God. Get to that point and maybe then we can begin to grieve our losses in a way that has lasting impact on a broken world. That impact, that calling - our grief now becomes a gateway, rather than a barrier. I'm thankful to Levi for writing this book and to the Luskos for their example in suffering through painful grief and sharing this story.
  
  Through the Eyes of a Lion reflects Levi's strength of character with authenticity of his voice - if you read this book with an appreciation and understanding of the richness of his enthusiasm and care for you that exudes from his preaching pulpit, you'll spend less time thinking about a critical literary review or dreaming up book club questions and more energy running to a God that soothes and heals your pain. Reading the book through In a single sitting, I confess that it's a page turner of the best kind - words that provide a catalyst for healing and motivation to keep pursuing God with all of your heart. And at the end of the day, isn't that really the only litmus test for whether or not a book has done a five-star job?
• Proud to leave Review #667!! Levi and Jennie Lusko have a heart to open up, be vulnerable, and show you that in the midst of what is IMPOSSIBLE, in the greatest pain you face ... God can use to prove His Great Love for others. I had the honor of teaching Lenya Avery as one of my Four Year Olds at Fresh Life Church, where I call myself the #selfproclaimedpastorofthefouryearolds. Lenya taught me that God can use a Spicy, Strong Personality to shine LOUD for the love of Jesus. Her faith was large at age four, and when she went Home at age five none of those left behind will ever be the same. God loves you greatly, even when facing impossible pain. Pick up this book, share with others who are hurting, and know that God has great plans for you, even in the hardest days. And thank you to my sweet friends, Levi and Jennie, for being open for God to use you and this platform you have been scarred with, and giving it back with Honor and Glory back to God. Grace, Grace!
• In this book, Pastor Levi Lusko shows with heartbreaking honesty how to face impossible pain and find incredible power. But Through the Eyes of a Lion is more than just a manual for dealing with grief. In Levi's words, it's "a manifesto for high-octane living." Those words couldn't be more true. I've never experienced the level of pain that Levi and his wife Jennie did the day their daughter Lenya left this earth. But I have struggled with fear, anxiety, and defeat, and I walked away from this book encouraged and empowered to change the way I view the challenges in my life.
  
  Posing questions like "How do you live out an extraordinary calling while doing ordinary things and living in a world that is all screwed up?" Levi uses his real life experiences to teach you how to hurt with hope, look past what you can see, and let go of fear to become the you you were meant to be. And he does so with a mix of authenticity, brevity, gravity and humor that makes this not only a powerful read, but one you can easily engage with. From "cue the eagle" to "pain is a microphone" and "run toward the roar" the pages are full of tidbits of wisdom and key phrases that will stick with you long after you finish reading. Whether you're struggling under the weight of seemingly unbearable pain, or facing the everyday difficulties of life, this book offers renewed hope--for both your present and your future.
• I was given this book by a friend and then bought it for all of my kids and siblings. The story is powerful, and true, and encouraging, even though it's filled with tragedy. Levi's daughter, Lenya, only lived 5 short years on this earth, and yet she is impacting thousands of people.
  I couldn't put the book down. It's one of the few books that I've already re-read.
  If you struggle with how a good God can allow bad things - read this book.
  If you struggle with a fear of death - read this book.
  And then, read Levi's second book. Swipe Right. He is an unbelievably gifted speaker who has a message of HOPE for all of us.
• One of the best books I have ever read! It is not just about the grief of losing a child, but shows the hope we have if you know Jesus as your Savior to get you through the deepest pain. It showed how the Lord gave them courage & strength to reach out to others in the midst of their pain. Later that year, I lost my brother-in-law unexpectantly & reread parts of it again & shared with others. Grief isn't cut & dry & you can go in & out of stages. Levi shared his faith & hope in Jesus throughout the book. I had watched the funeral live & it really glorified the Lord as they shared stories of her young life. The whole family were such a testimony of God-infused strength, courage & love. Whatever loss, sorrow or pain you are going through, this book will give you the hope you need.
• A great book to read when you have expereinced a life changing trauma in your life. The author is very open with grief and also uses humor at times. His wriitng is very easy to read and he communicate in every day language. He takes the reader through steps on learning how our lives are worth living and to celebrate even the hurtful things in life because we can use them in extraordinary ways.
• This is literally one of the best books I have ever read! It is an easy read with many deep deep messages. This is one book I have read over and over already. If you (or someone you know) have gone through, or are going through, unspeakable pain, this book is incredibly helpful!! I hope all will read!!
