This Too Will Pass

Some storms don’t destroy you. They form you. Matt spent years trying to hold together a life that kept breaking apart. In This Too Will Pass, readers are taken into a raw and deeply personal true story shaped by faith, hardship, family, military service, loss, divorce, leadership, shame, and the difficult road toward healing. Written with emotional honesty and reflective depth, this memoir follows one man through seasons where control failed, faith was tested, and survival slowly gave way to something deeper. There are wounds he could not ignore, choices he could not undo, questions about God he was not sure he wanted answered, and pain that refused to stay buried. Through fractured relationships, the weight of responsibility, the cost of war, and the quiet ache of regret, Matt is forced to confront not only what happened to him, but what was happening within him. This is not a story of easy answers or polished faith. It is a story about carrying too much for too long, losing the illusion of control, and discovering that grace often meets people in the middle of the mess—not after they have cleaned themselves up. Blending elements of personal memoir, Christian nonfiction, inspirational writing, and spiritual growth, This Too Will Pass speaks to readers who have wrestled with pain, questioned their faith, struggled with shame, endured broken relationships, or wondered whether anything good could still come from the wreckage. Recommended for mature teens and adults, this book contains serious themes including depression, divorce, grief, war, spiritual struggle, and emotional hardship. It is especially suited for readers drawn to honest memoirs, faith-based stories, military life reflections, personal growth, and true stories of endurance and inner change. For anyone who has ever felt broken by a season they did not choose, This Too Will Pass offers a hard-earned reminder: What breaks you does not have to be the end of you.
