Making the Best of the Rest
Finding Grace, Love, and Meaning in Life’s Second Act
When life changes—through loss, age, or the quiet rearranging of what matters most—we stand at a crossroads and ask: Now what?
In Making the Best of the Rest, author Keith Thorn invites you into an intimate, soul-stirring reflection on what it means to begin again when the road behind you is longer than the one ahead. From his coastal winters in Port Isabel, Texas, to memories of faith, family, and forgiveness, Keith shares stories that remind us: joy is still possible, peace is still reachable, and love—if we let it—still finds its way.

Keith Thorn’s book, “Faith Made Real,” is an honest and transparent account of how God grows our faith in unexpected ways. As a Christian for 50 + years, I’ve recently found myself in a very difficult place. I’ve been struggling with doubt and questions about God, and wondering at times if He has abandoned me. I’ve cried out to God so many times in my fear and confusion. I’ve talked to fellow Christians, read my Bible, and prayed, but still I was struggling. Somehow, in all of this, I’ve felt tiny little flickers of truth and hope that kept me going. But I still struggled with the thought that I was doing something wrong. What a gift from God to have this book literally laid in my hands! As I read the author’s words, I found myself saying, “Yes!” “Me, too!” “Oh, thank goodness, I am not alone!” The words on these pages absolutely confirmed what I’ve felt God has been telling me. Everything Keith says rings true Biblically, and I have renewed hope that my faith IS being made stronger through what I am going through. I no longer want OUT of the situation, but instead, I am asking God, “What are You teaching me?” This is a huge paradigm shift for me – from believing lies to believing truth.
If you feel lost, hopeless, discouraged, or abandoned, sit down with this book and let God speak to you through it. Thank you, Keith Thorn, for sharing your story and the wisdom that God has taught you through it! Thank you for reminding me that: faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains; when I fail and stumble, God hasn’t left me; and when my faith is weak and I can’t hold on, I don’t have to because God NEVER lets me go.
