Through the Battle: One Family’s Journey of Fighting for Joy

by Kristin S. Martin

After their nine-year-old son, Brady, was diagnosed with a rare leukemia, the Martins were determined to find purpose in the pain they were walking through.



Kristin S. Martin began an online journal in an effort to remain hopeful even during the most dreadful days. In it, she documented how she, her husband, Brady, and the entire family rallied to support him in his fight.



For the author, writing became a way to heal from wounds inflicted by the battle. As the family fought, her love for Jesus grew and became a beacon of light for the entire family.



In this book, she shares her journal entries, which reveal how the family fought every day. Her words don’t just shed light on her own journey—they encourage readers to find healing, hope, peace, love, and joy in their own lives.



Sometimes life is undoubtedly hard. Scratch that—it can be downright exhausting and seemingly impossible. But fortunately for the Martins, God had prepared them to stay strong Through the Battle.

I wish I had words as eloquent as Kristen to describe the profound impact the story of the Martins has had on my life. She has a way with words to bind you to the emotional rollercoaster her family has been on over the last several years. The devastation, the joys, the wins, the lessons, the relentless faith, and the mission of “Way to Battle.” Reliving the journey was just as moving as following it from day 1. If only everyone battled through their own challenges by giving love, joy, and support to others. Way to battle Martins! 🧡
