YOU MAY SURVIVE: Walking Through Pressure, Purpose, and Preservation

What happens when the people meant to protect you become the ones you must survive?You May Survive is the raw, unflinching testimony of Rev. Dr. LuTimothy May, Sr. — pastor, father, and survivor — who walked through a decade of betrayal, public attack, legal warfare, near-fatal accident, and family estrangement, and came out the other side not just intact, but transformed.This is not a feel-good story. It is a real one.Dr. May opens with thirteen minutes — the moment that would either break him or set him free. What followed were years of navigating a mother's rejection, a public crucifixion orchestrated by family members, lawsuits over the church his father entrusted to his care, and a car accident so severe that first responders arrived expecting to recover a body. Through every collision — physical, spiritual, and relational — one question echoed: Will you survive this?Written in a powerful dual voice — raw, unfiltered testimony woven alongside polished narrative reflection — You May Survive gives language to the kind of pain most people suffer in silence:The wound of betrayal from family who should have protected youThe loneliness of being publicly misrepresented by people who know your heartThe spiritual crisis of calling out to God and hearing silenceThe quiet miracle of love that stays when everything else walks awayThe rediscovery of purpose on the other side of the fireDrawing from Scripture, lived experience, and hard-won wisdom, Dr. May reveals that the favor of God is not measured by what you possess — it is measured by your anointing to survive what was designed to destroy you.If you have ever felt abandoned by the people closest to you, questioned God in your darkest season, raised children alone while holding a calling together, or wondered whether survival itself could be a form of testimony — this book was written for you.You may not come out unmarked. But you may survive. And that is enough to begin. Read more
