\"\"\u00a0What if your weaknesses are actually your greatest strengths?<\/span><\/p>\n

With cerebral palsy binding him to a wheelchair and slowing his speech, Todd\u2019s physical weaknesses have always been apparent. As a child, his confinement even led to years of abuse and neglect. He\u2019s never had the option of hiding his weaknesses. Escape\u2014Impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n

But through God\u2019s movement in the trials, Todd became deeply thankful for what many would consider devastating. <\/span>Weak Is the New Strong<\/span><\/i> is an invitation to journey with Todd and discover how your greatest weakness\u2014whatever it is\u2014can be transformed by God\u2019s strength. God longs for his power to spring to life in you so that you can serve <\/span>others, and Todd can show you how. The key to abundant life is learning to live confidently in God\u2019s power through your weaknesses\u2014not despite them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Praise for Weak is the New Strong<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy friend Todd Lollar knows that God\u2019s power is revealed in the most peculiar ways. The things we tend to be ashamed of often become the very things God uses to redeem the world, and the scars that show what we have survived can become our credentials. You are going to love this book. Todd is one of the bright lights in this world.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Todd Lollar uses lessons from his life filled with challenge, disappointment, and heartbreak to show us all that there is strength in our weakness, joy in our pain, and beauty in our brokenness.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
