I Am Alive: Seven Years. One Finish Line. Unshakable Faith.

Sometimes it takes losing the life you thought was enough to discover the life you were truly meant to live.

For years, Susan Lanz believed her life was good enough-high-achieving, devoted to her family, always moving toward the next challenge. But beneath the motion was a sobering truth: fear and doubt kept her from fully living the life God intended.

Then, in an instant, everything changed.

A near-fatal ATV accident shattered her body and threatened everything she had built. Doctors told her she would never run again-perhaps never even walk the same. What felt like an ending became the beginning of something far greater.

Through small, faithful steps, Susan learned that true transformation is forged in unseen moments-where courage and faith carry us forward when the climb feels impossible. Seven years later, Susan achieved what once seemed impossible: running one hundred miles.

But I Am Alive is not a book about running.

It is for anyone who feels weary, stuck, or burdened by the persistent feeling that they were called to more-a story of reclaimed hope, rebuilt strength, and discovering that our hardest seasons are often where the life we were meant to live begins.

Because as long as you are alive, hope is not gone, purpose is not over.

Your next faithful step may change everything.
