What if the most popular thing Christians say to suffering people is actually a lie that is making everything worse?

We’ve all heard the well-meaning platitude: "God won't give you more than you can handle." But when you are sitting in a sterile room waiting for biopsy results, or lying on the bathroom floor at 3:00 AM wondering if you’ll see your children grow up, you know the truth that nobody wants to say out loud: God absolutely gives us more than we can handle. In More Than You Can Handle, author Erin Olson pulls back the curtain on the "neat and tidy" version of Christianity to reveal a God who meets us in the wreckage of a devastating diagnosis.

When triple-positive invasive ductal carcinoma shattered her world, Erin discovered that Christian clichés don't heal—only the presence of a Savior does. This isn't a book about "positive thinking" or a formula to make the pain disappear. Instead, it is a raw, biblically-grounded roadmap for finding a peace that makes zero logical sense while the storm is still raging. Drawing from the lives of Esther, Rahab, David, Mary the mother of Jesus, Paul, and Jesus, Erin provides a spiritual survival guide for anyone facing a "death sentence" or a season of radical uncertainty.
