Through the Eyes of a Lion: Facing Impossible Pain, Finding Incredible Power
What will you do when the unthinkable happens? Pastor Levi Lusko never expected that five days before Christmas, his five-year-old daughter Lenya would suddenly go to heaven after an asthma attack. Learn the eye-opening truth of the power of hope in a world that is often filled with pain, suffering, and loss.
Her parents called her Lenya Lion because of her ferocious personality and hair that had been wild and mane-like since birth, but after her sudden loss, Pastor Levi Lusko and his wife Jennie had to figure out how to walk out of an emergency room without their daughter.
In this moving memoir, Levi shares the power of hope in a world often visited by pain, suffering, and loss, urging you to view life as an adventure and encourages you to make an eternal impact.
More a manifesto for high-octane living than a manual for grieving, Through the Eyes of a Lion will help you turn your journey into a "roar story" by guiding you to:
- Let God turn your pain into a microphone
- Look past what you can see with the naked eye
- Understand how a good God can allow bad things
- Survive Saturday—the space between promise and fulfillment
Levi has walked through the intense, raw periods that come with grieving. Whether you're currently facing adversity or want to prepare yourself for inevitable hardship, it's time to look at the adventure of your life through Jesus' eyes—the eyes of a Lion.

“This is the war: every moment of every day, we must make the all-important choice of whether we will rely on the naked eye. Will we trust what we can see is there, or believe what God says is there? It’s a decision we are continually confronted with. The apostle Paul put it this way: ‘So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever’ (2 Corinthians 4:18 NLT).” (source)
“when you don’t recognize the value of what you have in your hands, you will always get from it far less than it is worth” (source)
“Suffering isn’t an obstacle to being used by God. It is an opportunity to be used like never before” (source)
“train for the trial you’re not yet in. The worst time to try to get ready for a marathon is when you are running” (source)
“the thing that had him surrounded was itself surrounded by God.” (source)
