Larry W. Shearer Shares A Story Of Resilience
In The Storm Might Be Big, But God Is Bigger, author Larry W. Shearer offers a story shaped by real experiences after Hurricane Katrina. He writes about loss, yet his deeper purpose is to show where strength truly comes from. Through the Smith family’s struggles, he reminds readers that even in the darkest nights, faith lights the way forward.
Storms Reveal What Truly Matters Most
When Katrina struck, families lost homes, belongings, and memories gathered over years. Larry’s story captures this painful reality through the Smiths. Yet he also highlights a powerful truth—when everything else is taken, love and faith remain. Storms have a way of stripping away what is temporary so that we can see what is eternal. That perspective becomes a gift, even in the middle of grief.
Courage Is Found In Simple Acts Of Trust
The Smith family does not escape fear or worry. They feel it deeply. But within those emotions, they choose to trust. Larry shows how courage does not mean ignoring fear. Instead, it means moving forward while holding firmly to God’s hand. This lesson applies not only to natural disasters but also to every hardship life may bring.
A Message Written On Wood Carried Deep Meaning
Larry’s book was born out of one unforgettable moment. He saw words scrawled on plywood in the wreckage: “Katrina was Big, But God is Bigger.” That simple declaration became the foundation of his writing. It carried a hope so powerful that Larry could not let it fade. By weaving it into his story, he ensures readers everywhere can hold on to the same promise in their own storms.
A Teacher’s Heart Found A New Way To Inspire
Before writing, Larry spent decades as a teacher, counselor, and coach. His life’s work was about shaping young people with guidance and encouragement. Retirement did not end that calling—it simply gave it a new direction. Through his book, Larry continues teaching, but now his classroom is much larger. Each page is another lesson in resilience, faith, and hope.
God’s Power Is Always Greater Than The Storm
The heart of Larry W. Shearer’s message is simple but life-changing: storms are real, but God is bigger. Readers walk away not only with a story of one family but also with a reminder meant for all families. No trial can overshadow His presence. No wave can wash away His love. Through every storm, His strength endures.
