When love is tested, most people hope it will hold. Few ever see what it looks like when it does.
She Stood is not a marriage guide or a collection of advice. It is a testimony. Written by a husband bearing witness to the woman God gave him, this book tells the story of covenant love lived out under real pressure, in real life, and often in quiet, unseen ways.
From a life threatening moment involving two pit bulls, to the pain of childbirth without relief, from ministry accusations to parenting through adolescence, these chapters reveal a love that chose courage over comfort, presence over protection, and faithfulness over ease.
This is a book about what love looks like when it costs something. When it is joyful and quiet. When it protects and provides. When it walks through heavy seasons and shapes the soul over time.
At its heart, She Stood is a story of staying power. Of a woman whose love did not retreat when the cost was high, and of a man forever changed by loving her.

This is a story about love that did not step back.
