Book Review: The Struggle is Real – How to Get Better at Life, Have Stronger Faith & Break Free

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL: BY NICOLE UNICE

Nicole Unice shows how to overcome present struggles and break free from past garbage keeping you stuck. The Struggle is Real is one book you’ll read, re-read, and study.

We’ve all had days as well as seasons of life in which we struggled whether moment by moment, or conversation by conversation, or day by day. Instead of living joyously, we’ve simply survived. Although there can be a certain satisfaction to our survival…we did it! Survival alone, however, isn’t joyful. Instead, it’s a season of growth, difficult growth that can be isolating, stressful, and void of heartfelt words that can adequately relate our struggle.

Nicole Unice not only understands the many struggles we face, she has lived them personally or in tandem with clients as a psychotherapist. In short, she gets it. She shows how to get to the other side of our struggles in order to rewrite the stories of our lives and in turn, change the trajectory of our futures.

Rising above the struggle can seem about as likely as floating by on a cloud when we just want the struggle to end. We just want to be happy, normal, or hit the easy button. In fact, we probably don’t just want a happy, normal existence. We also want it NOW!

In The Struggle is Real, Nicole Unice encourages fellow Christians with Biblical truths that apply to our everyday difficulties. Each chapter ends with practical, thoughtful questions to help make real changes. Unice also provides insight to help and encourage our understanding of ourselves as well as our past. The information provided will empower and promote lasting future change.

Empowered Beyond Today wouldn’t recommend this book if it weren’t important and has already listened to The Struggle is Real twice on Audible. Empowered Beyond Today is hooked! Yes, the struggle is real even though we often whine and fight against it. However, the struggle is also beautiful as it brings us closer to our Holy Father and the person He wants us to be. Additionally, it also calls forth the difference our Heavenly Father wants us to make in this world. Overcoming the daily, weekly, or seasonal struggles brings us closer to knowing ourselves, others, as well as God’s character and gift of peace and comfort.

The key?

“For we live by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7, NIV

Nicole Unice shows us how to keep going with practical steps and generous doses of encouragement and truth.

Yes, the struggle is real and equally as true is the overcoming of it:

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33, NIV

In summary, to quote Nicole Unice, “God is greatest and He knows best.”
