Alyssa Kumle's story is one of perseverance, purpose, and hope, a journey of living with a rare disability and discovering that with Christ, we can walk by faith, not by sight.
At just seven years old, Alyssa was diagnosed with Giant Axonal Neuropathy, a rare progressive nerve disease that affects her every step. What began as weakness in her legs grew into a daily battle against physical limitations. But in every obstacle, Alyssa discovered something extraordinary: God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.
Doubtless is Alyssa’s deeply personal memoir, a story of faith in the unknown, of redefining limits as blessings, and of finding purpose in pain. It’s an invitation to see beauty in brokenness and to discover that Jesus always makes a way when there seems to be no way.

Doubtless: Walking by Faith, Not by Sight by Alyssa Kumle is a beautifully honest and inspiring book that helped me see life through the lens of someone living with a disability. As a counselor and fellow traveler seeking to walk compassionately with others, I found this book deeply impactful. It opened my eyes to the emotional and spiritual challenges faced by those with impairments—challenges that often go unseen—and stirred a greater sense of empathy within me.
This is a profound story of devastating loss, and the journey of humility, surrender and the power of faith, community and courage to overcome. Alyssa’s book has helped me connect to my own grief and inspired me to dive deeper into hope and trust. I received an Advanced Reader Copy of the book from the author and I read the first 12 chapters in one sitting. This book is a reminder of the light in the midst of the darkness. I would highly recommend.
