A book primarily about marriage, Still Here is gritty, personal, bathed in Scripture, and wonderfully relatable. If you believe a successful Christian music career on the outside means harmony behind closed doors, think again. If you say you ve already heard their stories and know their testimony, start reading.

The Chapmans are wide open and brutally honest about their struggles. But through it all is woven the theme that our only Hope, the only One that can hold us together, is Christ Himself. He gives grace and mercy when we cannot see the bigger picture. He gives kindness and help when we have nothing left. In a very readable, conversational format, the Chapmans beautifully illustrate exactly what it means go forward holding tight to each other and the One who brought us together, so that we too will be able to say We re still here.

There is no magic formula, no 10 step program to follow. Just one family s story of faith that refuses to quit amidst trials dark and deep. A redemption story that is available to all of us. He makes beauty from ashes.

A huge thank you to the Chapmans for sharing 40 years of God s faithfulness through every difficult situation. It could not have been easy to write. But it is something we need more of, to know we are all in similar boats, yet there is Someone who can keep us from sinking. No matter what season of life you are in, this book is a must read.

Still Here is the joined writing effort of recording artist Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife of forty years, Marybeth Chapman. If you know anything about their story or have read their previous books, you know they have been through a lot together, and that their marriage has not always been easy. In Still Here, they share about what has kept them fighting for one another over the years. It is important to know going in that this is more of a conversational memoir than a self-help book about marriage. Steven and Marybeth are very candid about their story and offer insights from their own experience, but this is not a *how to have a good marriage book.* I listened to a lot of this on audio and would recommend that format, as the authors read the sections they wrote. I would recommend this for fans of the Chapmans, or anyone looking for general marriage encouragement, especially if you need to be reminded that it is worth it to keep fighting.

Thank you to Netgalley and B&H Publishing for the advanced review copy. All opinions are my own.
