As an eight-year NFL defensive tackle, Tommie Harris knew how to take a hit better than anyone: clamp your jaw shut and walk it off. It’s what the fans wanted and it’s how you kept the opposing line in check. Shake it off, pretend you’re fine, and bury the pain until it goes away. But what Tommie wasn’t prepared for was when life starts throwing its hardest hits. How do you respond not only to pain, but to injuries in your soul that continue to worsen the longer you ignore them? How do you recover when the hit doesn’t come in the form of a 300-lb. lineman’s shoulder on a football field, but in the form of losing your newlywed wife? In Endure, Tommie Harris teaches that when someone is bleeding and gasping for air on the ground, they don’t need someone to stand over them and give advice—but instead to match their posture and hold them close. That’s what Endure is all about. Tommie uses his own story of loss to get down on his knees with you, to share your pain, and to take your hand. He lends his own story through life’s trials and the lessons he’s learned along the way to help you discover hope again in the midst of your darkest moments, whatever they may be. “This book will strengthen you in the face of your own loss and pain and inspire you to keep going no matter what.” — Bob Stoops, Former head football coach at the University of Oklahoma “There are few stories that have inspired me as much as this one.
