Author of Better or Bitter: A Practical Guide to Finishing Well

Steve Golliher has spent decades helping people navigate life's challenges and discover paths to renewal. His own journey through difficult seasons taught him that we always have a choice: to grow bitter or to grow better.

This book and community grew from a simple conviction: that every person facing disappointment, loss, or setback can find a way forward. Not by ignoring pain, but by transforming it into growth.

Better or Bitter offers practical wisdom rooted in faith for renewing your body, heart, mind, and soul—and for finishing life well, no matter what you've been through.
