Unconquered: 10 Principles to Overcome Adversity and Live above Defeat
Ebook
Face your pain.
Live unconquered.
Trauma is notorious for trapping people in the pain of their past. When you live in defeat, it can be difficult to embrace the hope and victory available in Christ.
Former law enforcement officer Adam Davis knows what it’s like to feel defeated. In Unconquered, Davis bravely shares his personal experiences with abuse, failure, and mental health battles and the biblical truths that empowered him to choose faith over fear, truth over lies, and action over defeat. Structured around ten practical principles, Unconquered will help you
- surrender to God for healing and forgiveness,
- develop healthy habits to renew your mindset, relationships, and behaviors,
- discover untapped strength and uncommon resolve, and
- transform into a more resilient version of yourself.
Allow God to use your past to draw you near and reclaim the abundant life he designed for you.
It is a good thing to look around in the midst of the battle and see that you are not alone. A fellow soldier, one who is well-armed and fierce in his opposition to the enemy, is right there beside you. That’s why we love finding that we are on the front lines with men like Adam Davis. Adam’s plea is simple: don’t ignore the pain of living in this broken world. Cry out to God. Plead with him to make you desperate for him. Dump it all in his lap. Seek intimacy with God, and pray that he will align your will with his. As two of Adam’s fellow soldiers in the kingdom of God, we recommend this book to anyone who seeks more, anyone who desires to be liberated from the chains of bondage that we have allowed the enemy to wrap around us.

I personally know the pain of catastrophic failures in my life, and knowing how to apply these principles is one of the reasons I continue fighting and pressing forward. Adam’s vulnerability and authentic approach to sharing deep, painful experiences teach us that no matter what we face, our past doesn’t define us, we can overcome, and we can live unconquered. I highly recommend and endorse Adam and his new book, Unconquered: Ten Battle-Tested Principles for Victorious Living.

Every time I read one of Adam’s books, I have to remind myself he doesn’t have a background in mental health and psychology because he seamlessly integrates research-based information, psychology, and spirituality to help any reader understand a sound and direct approach to healing with God’s help. Unconquered is the story and a guide for moving through trauma and adversity and shedding the negative influence they can have in our lives. This book has grit because Adam has the courage to share his own personal stories of trauma, struggle, awaking, and triumph. I really could not put this book down and found myself highlighting something in every chapter. If you are feeling alone and tired of the weight from situations in the past, not only will this book help you feel seen, but it will also move you through to a place of living life unconquered.

Adam Davis has faced some of life’s greatest challenges—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. True warriors understand that those challenges have the capability of destroying their lives and emptying their souls. That is where courage is born. The courage of heroes is not just battlefield bravery. Courage is understanding that the greatest battle lies within us. To face the unseen enemies of self-doubt, loss of faith, and fear of dishonoring our own values is the test of true courage. That is the message of this book: within each of us is the ability to face our greatest challenges and defeat them. Unconquered is a pathway to understanding ourselves and the hero that lies within each of us.

After having shared Adam’s work with several hundred men over the years and getting to know him personally, I am now thrilled to live out the principles in Unconquered.
As part of a national men’s ministry that builds warrior disciple makers, we take men onto American battlefields. Those battlefields remind men that they are built for victory and great men are built out of conflict. Every man that maneuvers with us will leave with a copy of Unconquered in his hands as an ongoing assist and motivation for their lives.

In Unconquered, author Adam Davis departs from his best-selling devotional format to deliver a raw and compelling narrative on how men deal with adversity and trauma. Through lived experiences and the decisions he made that were either helpful or destructive, every reader can find themselves reflected in the pages of this book. Davis delves deep into the roots of issues such as abuse, tragedy, pain, and loss, and although the topics can be heavy, his writing style makes them approachable and engaging.
One of the most captivating stories in the book is when Davis shares his own experience of being caught in a riptide. He describes the powerful force that pulled him deeper and deeper into the waves and how he had to make a difficult decision to go with the flow and allow the tide to take him farther out to regain his strength and escape. Davis then draws a poignant comparison between the riptide experience and how we respond to adversity in our lives, encouraging us to surrender to the one who called us more than conquerors and to trust in our identity in him.
Throughout the book, Davis displays incredible bravery as he leads readers through the darkest moments of his life. His honesty and vulnerability create a sense of camaraderie between the reader and author, making the book a relatable and inspiring read. It is a reminder that while the journey through adversity may be challenging, it is possible to emerge unconquered on the other side.
In Unconquered, Adam Davis encourages readers to embrace the challenges, battles, and adversities in life instead of fighting against them. This book is a powerful resource for anyone seeking guidance on how to overcome adversity and trauma in their lives.
