Stepping Up!: How Christ Turned My Pain & Suffering into Hope & Joy
by Caitie Crowley
WHERE IS GOD IN THE MIDST OF SUFFERING?
Caitie Crowley was in a traumatic car accident on her way home from work and almost lost her life. She couldn’t walk for 10 months. She took that time to write about her experiences and how her faith in God carried her through her pain. This book takes the reader through Caitie’s physical struggle of learning to walk again and her interior struggle of learning to walk with God through the cross. Through Him, you can find hope when it appears hopeless.

TESTIMONIALS
“Caitie did an awesome job describing her physical and emotional pain, challenges and the experiences that most of us have never been through. Her strong foundation of faith in God was evident throughout. You don’t have to be the survivor of a horrific car accident to acquire strong takeaways from this story. God blessed Caitie and the rest of us by allowing her to share her story through this book. I urge you to get the book and share it with others when you’re done. It’s encouraging for me to see a young leader who is confident in her Christian faith and share that faith with us. Congratulations Caitie!” – Jim Ardis, Strategic Philanthropy Officer at OSF Healthcare & Former Mayor of Peoria, IL

Mary Kloska is from Elkhart, Indiana. She was raised in a huge Polish family (12 brothers and sisters) along with a lot of foster babies and other needy people in and out of the house. She presently has 70+ nieces and nephews. She has lived a very unique life. Upon graduating from Notre Dame in 1999 she spent almost 20 years in the missions serving the poor (including orphanages) as well as praying as a consecrated hermit all over the world –Siberia, Nigeria, Tanzania, South Africa, Philippines, Mexico, the Holy Land and all over Europe as well. Although she spent a lot of time away in silence praying, ironically she loves children and is very fun and outgoing when it comes to serving young adults, as well as the little ones. She also spent her time in the missions giving retreats, doing simple catechesis, leading prayer groups, giving spiritual direction, helping in deliverance, changing diapers, feeding babies and cleaning floors. After spending intense time serving in a mission she would withdraw for periods of ‘retreat’ as a hermit (including three years as an official diocesan hermit with vows under a Bishop.) The last few years she has spent as a fulltime nanny to infant triplets, twins and several large families. She speaks many languages (poorly) and enjoys playing guitar, painting icons, baking, gardening, reading, writing and simply filling in where there is the greatest need in the Church. Her WCAT Radio program, “The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love,” may be found
