Synopsis

An inspirational memoir about CrossFit star Brooke Wells' rise to fame and miraculous comeback.

This program is read by the author.

On the last night of the 2021 CrossFit Games, ten thousand fans watched in horror as Brooke Wells’ elbow dislocated under the weight of a 190-pound barbell. This is the extraordinary story of what happened next: How Wells pulled off a highly improbable comeback that transformed her mentally and physically into one of the fittest women in the world.

In Resilient, Wells provides a refreshingly honest, authentic account of how she overcame fear, self-doubt, and a slew of unexpected obstacles to return to the CrossFit Games less than a year after undergoing total elbow reconstruction. A story of strength, passion, courage, and grit, Resilient is a celebration of one athlete's extraordinary spirit and her inspiring ability to never say die.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

I really enjoy reading books by John Eldredge, & this one was also great. This book was very applicable to speaking to our current “turbulent” times post pandemic and our lack of wholehearted devotion to the Lord. He spoke a lot about the current state of our culture desiring the comfort and love of......more

Goodreads review by Jake on September 04, 2023

7/5* So wonderfully written and perfect timing as we come out of a pandemic - but also just living in this world with so much coming at all of our senses (all the times!). This breaks down your day and getting your soul healthy with tangible exercises. I highly recommend the audio book as the exerci......more

Goodreads review by Susan on May 05, 2022

Christian author and counselor John Eldredge‘s “Resilient” is the perfect read after all we’ve been facing. He used the recent pandemic and prophecies about the end of the age to share with readers a way to access the source of our resiliency and strength found in Jesus Christ. Eldredge said “comfort......more
