After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, leaving more than 80 percent of the city underwater, many wondered, Will the city ever come back? And with their stadium transformed into a makeshift refugee camp, forcing the Saints to play their entire 2005 season on the road, people questioned, Will the Saints ever come back?

It takes a special person to turn adversity into success and despair into hope—yet that is exactly what Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees has done—and with the weight of an entire city on his shoulders.

Coming Back Stronger is the ultimate comeback story, not only of one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks, but also of a city and a team that many had all but given up on. Brees’s inspiring message of hope and encouragement proves that with enough faith, determination, and heart, you can overcome any obstacle life throws your way and not only come back, but come back stronger.

Left Behind-The Kids #6 The Underground, which Chris helped write, tells the story of the kids who are left behind and takes the next step in showing their faith as they release an underground newspaper at Nicolae High. Chris develops themes in these books also found throughout his other writings, including that we must be bold about our faith and use that faith to work through ethical dilemmas.

Chris and his wife, Andrea, are the parents of seven children and make their home in Bolingbrook, Illinois. While Chris has enjoyed careers at the Moody Bible Institute and in Christian radio, he believes his career as a husband and father is the real evidence of God's grace in his life.
