Is it a parent’s prerogative to sacrifice a child’s success, happiness, and even life, in order to atone for real or perceived sins of previous generations? When a parent does just that, will anyone stop them? Will anyone even figure it out? What if the child survives long enough to figure it out?
an excerpt from the book
“Let Thunder Be Our Song” by Jordan Konrad is a powerful, faith-rooted story about perseverance, courage, and finding your voice when life tries to silence you. Through vivid storytelling and deeply personal moments, the book follows a journey of spiritual growth, resilience through hardship, and the discovery that trials don’t break us, but they shape us. Proudly published by Citi of Books, this book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retail platforms.
Jordan Konrad was born and raised in the American Heartland, the seventh and last child of a minister and his wife. Discarded by family at age sixteen, he traveled the country and settled in the Pacific Northwest. He spent eight years doing forestry work in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Arizona. He then moved to Seattle, Washington where he spent many years in the building trades. He currently resides in the Seattle, Washington metropolitan region.
“Let Thunder Be Our Song” by Jordan Konrad isn’t just another inspirational read—it’s the kind of book that feels like someone gently (and sometimes boldly) reminding you that your struggles have a purpose. From moments of uncertainty to seasons of testing faith, the story walks through real-life challenges that many of us quietly face. And instead of sugarcoating the hard parts, it leans into them, showing how growth often happens in the middle of chaos.

What makes this book so compelling is how relatable it feels. It speaks to anyone who has wrestled with doubt, felt overlooked, questioned their direction, or wondered why life seems unfair at times. Young adults navigating purpose, believers seeking deeper faith, leaders under pressure, and anyone going through a personal storm will see themselves in these pages. It doesn’t talk down to you—it walks beside you. And that makes all the difference.
One of the most beautiful takeaways from “Let Thunder Be Our Song” is the reminder that your voice matters—even when everything around you feels loud and overwhelming. Just like thunder demands attention, your life has impact. The struggles we experience—loss, disappointment, fear, failure—are often the very things that build strength and character. In everyday life, we all hit seasons where we feel tested. The lesson here? Don’t waste the storm. Let it refine you instead of define you.
If you’re looking for something that will stir your faith, challenge your mindset, and encourage you to rise above fear, this book belongs on your shelf. It’s the kind of story you underline, revisit, and recommend to a friend who needs hope. Sometimes the thunder isn’t there to scare you—it’s there to remind you that you’re still alive, still called, and still capable of making a powerful sound.
