The Weight Only You Can Carry: How Hidden Burdens Shape Us, Break Us, and Build Us
Why don't you stop?
No one asked you to carry this. No one will blame you if you quit. The work is invisible. The help is far. And still, you get up.
Why?
This book doesn't answer that question. It sits with you inside it.
Through twelve short chapters, you'll meet a man who carved a road through a mountain with a hammer for twenty-two years. A woman who sold vegetables in the sun and built a hospital with the money she earned. A mother who was thrown out pregnant and raised a thousand orphans. You'll discover what bamboo knows about hidden growth, what a four-ounce bird knows about impossible journeys, and what a lobster knows about the cost of becoming.
You'll walk with the author through his own story, from millionaire to homeless, from a stone porch outside a temple to running a children's home on faith and rice water. And you'll encounter three figures from Scripture who carried weight in silence: Elijah watching his brook dry up, Joseph forgotten in prison, and Jesus sweating blood in a garden, asking for another way.
This is not a self-help book. There are no steps, no formulas, no hacks for mental toughness.
This is a book for the weight that doesn't leave.
Grace is not the removal of the burden - it is the presence that walks beside you as you carry it.
If you're exhausted by answers and hungry for company, this book is for you.
