About this listen

Unlock the force of hope in life's hardest fights.

Good Catastrophe is your blueprint for finding your way out of pain. It is an atypical, no-holds-barred message of redemptive hope that will breathe new sunshine into your soul.

We need to rebrand hope. The era of everything in our lives fitting neatly in a box is done. That world is over. We need hope—but we need a hope that is robust enough to speak to real life.

Imagine the tide turning on your greatest challenges and problems. In a gritty and unique take on the story of Job, Benjamin Windle shows that flourishing does not come from a life devoid of loneliness, trauma, and anxiety. It's one lived with hope engineered for adversity.

Along with Job's story, he pulls from J. R. R. Tolkien's fascinating concept of "eucatastrophe," showing that your greatest good starts at your point of deepest pain. True hope is not hype. It's not pretending that everything is fine. Hardship, not perfection, is the starting point of hope.

Discover the secret to weathering life's storms, learn how to rise above daily imperfections, find out how to survive crises and come out better, and gain an ultimate perspective on every challenge you face in life.

Share this book with everyone you love

I’m on my third listen of this book. It came to me at a time of deep pain and hopelessness. There are no coincidences, and God knew what I needed at just the right time. Hope has returned, along with the gift of tremendous growth.

Inspiring Message of Why We Hope

This book includes great anecdotal illustrations of how hardship and hope are intertwined. Our trust is in the person of God and our hope is in His character, not an outcome or our circumstances. Yet in His infinite wisdom he uses even our pain to weave in beauty and growth and new life. We all need to be reminded of these truths and pass them along to the next generation. Thank you for this book.

Beautiful and helpful

Just finished this book Good Catastrophe by Ben Windle. It’s absolutely wonderful, drawing from an ancient wisdom around pain and suffering, and the purpose of hope! Such an important message for all, particularly in the world we live in right now. The writer as you will see has a personal understanding of pain, and he expertly explores the philosophy surrounding it and pragmatically lights a path forward without being cliché.
