"Reading Into the Storm by Josh Turner is like sitting down with a friend who has walked through the fire and come out stronger. With raw honesty and a heart for Jesus, Josh masterfully weaves biblical truths with personal insights, showing us how to embrace life's challenges and emerge more Christlike. His words bring both comfort and a fresh, faith-filled perspective for anyone going through tough times. This is a must-read for anyone seeking to grow spiritually through adversity."
-Harrison Conley, lead pastor of Cottonwood Church and founder of the Kingdom Collective "Only people who have been through the storm can yell back and give directions about how to survive it. That is what this book represents-a fellow beggar telling us where the bread is. What Josh has done here is nothing short of miraculous. His faith is as deep as his story. And they both deserve to be heard. Into the Storm will give new hope to those who are feeling blown away by the tumult of pain."?
-A.J. Swoboda, PhD, associate professor of Bible and Theology at Bushnell University and author of The Gift of Thorns "In John 16, Jesus teaches His disciples that in this world we will have trouble, but He encourages them not to lose heart because He has overcome the world. I wonder where so many lost this truth. I am grateful to hear Josh remind and encourage us back toward both our shared reality of suffering and Jesus's ultimate victory over it. I trust Josh. He loves God's Word, he loves God's people, and he has suffered in ways many think they wouldn't survive. He is not waxing eloquent in a painless tower but has walked through the valley of the shadow of death and learned that Jesus was with him with His rod and staff."
-Matt Chandler, lead pastor, The Village Church; author of The Explicit Gospel, Joy in the Sorrow, and The Overcomers; and executive chairman of Acts 29 Church Planting Network "No matter how the next storm in your life rolls in, you'll want to equip yourself now with the practical, biblical teachings of Josh Turner's?Into the Storm. This book guides you straight to the One who will stand with you through every trial. Turner unpacks stories of weathered and resilient figures in the Bible-such as Job and Paul-and creates space for intentional personal reflection with each chapter."?
-Rob Hoskins, president, OneHope "I've known Josh for more than 20 years, and I can attest to the authenticity of his words. I've witnessed him face his own storms with courage and grace, and he has been an unwavering presence in my life during my darkest hours. His guidance and support have been invaluable, and this book feels like an extension of that same steadfast friendship. Into the Storm is more than just a self-help book; it's a testament to the faithfulness of God and a roadmap for those seeking to navigate life's most challenging moments. Turner's words carry weight because they come from a place of lived experience and deep empathy. I don't typically endorse books, but I do endorse people. And I can think of no one more qualified to write about these topics than my best friend and brother, Josh Turner. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking guidance, understanding, and hope in the face of life's inevitable storms."
-Jason Laird, lead pastor of Citizens Church and founder and CEO of Sidecar Leader "Josh is a deep and winsome guide-part cowboy, part pastor-wisely leading us through the dark and dangerous toward hope. This is a hard-won handbook calling us all toward a new story that doesn't end in the storm."
-Katherine and Jay Wolf, coauthors of Hope Heals and Suffer Strong "For more than a decade I have seen up close the life that has produced what is on the pages of Into the Storm. I have seen the highs and the lows and watched how Josh has weathered them both with grace and strength that are supernatural. This is a book filled with honesty and conviction while providing an invitation to each reader to embrace the storms of life as opportunities to mature and experience God in a way that seems saved for the darkest of days."?
-Charlie Dawes, lead pastor of Hill City Church and author of Simple Prayer "Josh is a ride-and-die friend. He's the first-call friend for hundreds of leaders when things go off the rail. He understands headwinds, storms, crises, and challenges. And this book is just a small glimpse of the wisdom for life and leadership Josh brings to the mix. I highly recommend reading Into the Storm."
