Hill Country Strong: Reflections for Healing Through the Texas Flood

By Elaine Murray

On July 4th, 2025, floods swept through the heart of Texas, claiming lives, homes, and entire communities. In the face of unimaginable devastation, many asked: Where is God in this?

This book doesn't attempt to answer the impossible question of why. Instead, it gently walks with those mourning through the how. How do we come to terms with what we've witnessed? How do we begin to heal?

Written by a local minister, native Texan, and spiritual caregiver rooted in this very land, Hill Country Strong offers a series of reflections, prayers, and practices for those grieving and rebuilding in the wake of loss. God's heart, the author reminds us, is in the rubble, in the stench, in the aching silence-and also in the grace that rises when neighbors care for one another and life begins again.

Whether you are a flood survivor, a camp family, or a person of faith walking through heartbreak, this book is a companion for the soul-a witness to sorrow, and a wellspring of hope.

Proceeds from Hill Country Strong will be given to The Community Foundation Flood Relief Fund to support survivors of the Texas Hill Country flood.
