Stories of Perseverance: Inspirational Stories of Real People Who Have Persevered Through Difficult Times in Their Lives

Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to triumph over adversities, persevere through life’s intimidating obstacles, and make your life count? We all feel that way from time to time, which is why we all need to reach out to others who have struggled and become inspired and encouraged by their stories. In Stories of Perseverance: Volume I, bestselling author and motivational speaker Dennis M. Postema presents 32 moving, personal stories submitted by people from all walks of life. These stories highlight the inspirational journeys of people who’ve overcome unthinkable tragedies, losses, and difficulties and have gone on to lead happy, productive, successful lives. These stories are a powerful testament to the strength and determination of the human spirit and help bring us out of our own darkness into the light of hope, love, and perseverance.

Every day, we are barraged with negative news. You can't turn on the television or open a newspaper without seeing a negative story. Even social media-a place that should be safe for us to happily gather electronically with our friends-isn't immune from the horrors of that same does of daily negativity. One day, after seeing too many of these negative stories all at once, Dennis realized he wanted to do something about it. That’s when he came up with the idea for Stories of Perseverance. He knew there were true heroes in the world who we could focus our time and energy honoring, and he wanted to hear their stories, not negative ones.

Instead of seeing only the negative and letting their struggles get the best of them, heroes choose to see the positive in those situations and persevere through difficult times. Dennis wanted to hear how these heroes overcame their battles and emerged on top so we could be inspired to do the same.
