“Every soul needs a little strength training. In Stronger Every Day , Janell Rardon takes a comprehensive approach to address the things that weigh us down emotionally. The nine tools she shares effectively combine both scientific research and spiritual truths to provide the guidance needed to help the emotionally overwhelmed find a place of health and healing. This is an excellent resource for anyone battling emotional burnout or if you want to protect yourself from experiencing it in the future.”
Saundra Dalton- Smith , MD, physician, speaker, and author of Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity
“Janell Rardon’s new book Stronger Every Day reads like a letter from a trusted friend. Her love and care shine through, along with an effective synthesis of the last fifty years of psychological and clinical wisdom, not to mention many eternal and biblical truths. She has structured this offering as a toolbox, gently introducing each new self-care tool with stories from her own life as well as quotes from many of the leading scholars and researchers of psychology and personal growth. The overriding message of the book is about gentleness—leading ourselves from the pit of shame, self-judgment, and limitation to the heaven of self-forgiveness, empowerment, and connection. Janell speaks with authority as one who has brought both herself and her clients through this journey, and now she passes on the keys to this process for all to use. Her Heartlift method puts biblical truth alongside a solid grounding in affective, cognitive, and behavioral neuroscience. One is left with the impression that timeless wisdom has been proven and brought to life with modern scientific research. I am very pleased to see her work reach a larger audience, and I am sure that she will uplift and inspire many people with this well-written and enjoyable book.”
Benjamin Perkus , PhD, psychologist and creator of the Aroma Freedom Technique
“Janell Rardon provides a pathway of transformation for people seeking to heal and grow by translating the key foundational aspects of a good psychotherapy process into practical tools and accessible language. She wisely puts a practical step-by-step method for addressing the heart and building emotional strength at the center of this process.”
Beatrice Chestnut , author of The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self - Awareness and The 9 Types of Leadership : Mastering the Art of People in the 21st Century Workplace
“Janell Rardon’s book Stronger Every Day beautifully weaves Scripture, science, literature, and contemplative practices into a tapestry of tools to move us from a ‘history of hurts’ to a ‘vision of victory.’ Having worked in the field of child protection and family strengthening for nearly thirty years, I can’t wait for our staff to read this book together to learn and grow stronger for the sake of the children and families we serve. Emotionally healthy adults serve others better. Janell spent time with us in Thailand a few years ago, speaking at a conference to women from over thirty nations. Her authenticity and biblical insights inspired and challenged us to be the best healthy self we could be. Her new book does that as well.”
Kimberly Quinley , executive director, Step Ahead Foundation, Thailand
“Janell Rardon presents an in-depth look at a much-needed subject—healing from trauma. Social psychologists have highlighted the deep wounds that life sometimes brings. Rardon’s book draws upon a broad and profound reservoir of spirituality to bring emotional health to a world in search of deep healing. Read this creative prose and enter into your own journey of strength for everyday life!”
Antipas L. Harris , PhD, president and dean of Jakes Divinity School and author of Is Christianity the White Man’ s Religion? How the Bible Is Good News for People of Color
“Janell’s book Stronger Every Day is a powerful, detailed step-by-step process to healing the broken heart, leading one to wholeness and to a deeper, intimate relationship with Jesus. As always, Janell is passionate in her quest to see people healed and living the life Jesus died to give them.”
Allison Rolston , PA-C, brain health coach
“In Stronger Every Day , Janell Rardon offers practical tools for emotional healing that are grounded in biblical principles and offer encouragement for the arduous journey toward wholeness. Rardon weaves her own journey of healing throughout the book, assuring you there is hope and freedom in your future. Whether you struggle daily with emotional wounds or only occasionally feel their presence, Stronger Every Day will equip you to move forward toward emotional health and wellness.”
Kathy Howard , Bible study teacher and author of Unshakeable Faith: 8 Traits for Rock - Solid Living

Dedication
Dedicated with deep gratitude to my three remarkable children, Candace, Brooke, and Grant.
As Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky once said, “The soul is healed by being with children.” Each of you has healed my soul, taught me the joy of living a wide-awake life, and loved me unconditionally. Because of you, I grow stronger every day.

Acknowledgments
William Arthur Ward once said, “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” This book is a gift and it is wrapped in the love, support, and strength of so many.
To Rob, the love of my life. This work is our work. Together, we journey toward emotional health and wholeness and as a result grow stronger every day . I truly believe “the latter . . . will be greater than the former” (Hag. 2:9 AMP), and I know that the best is yet to come.
To my big brother, Mike, and big sister, Susan. We have overcome hurtful words and learned the power of speaking healing words and as a result, I believe we are growing stronger every day. I finished this book at a critical time in our mother’s life, and you gave me the support and space to put my heart and “our story” on paper. I think of the words of the great George Bernard Shaw, who once said, “If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.” Here’s to more years of dancing, laughter, and deep joy. I love you both.
To Mom. You kept the faith and fought the good fight. Your dying words to me were “Keep helping your ladies. They need to talk about their problems.” Your final blessing fuels my mission. Thank you for allowing
