In “From Survive to Thrive,” Rodriguez takes an honest look at the pain millions of people are experiencing during the Covid-19 pandemic and offers seven words to find hope and overcome the challenges we face in life: Holy, Healed, Healthy, Happy, Humble, Hungry and Honoring Life.

“Our trials can become opportunities for God’s light to shine through the cracks of our brokenness,” Rodriguez writes. “God’s glory pours forth into the hard, raw places of our lives and provides a poultice to soothe our wounds and restore our hope.”
