Author Shannon Collins's new Audiobook, “No Pain No Gain,” is a poignant guide to embracing one’s struggles as a part of God’s plan for their spiritual growth
Recent audiobook release “No Pain No Gain” from Audiobook Network author Shannon Collins is a powerful and deeply stirring account that invites listeners to understand God’s purpose in testing his children. Drawing from her own experiences, Collins shares her story with the hope of inspiring others to turn their struggles into moments of growing one’s faith.
Morristown, TN, March 02, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Shannon Collins has completed her new audiobook, “No Pain No Gain”: a compelling look at how life’s most challenging moments can be vital opportunities for spiritual growth that allows individuals to become closer to the Lord.
Shannon Collins lives in Morristown, Tennessee, where she is a member of Abundant Life Church and has served as a deaconess, a musician, and an active treasurer for twenty-four years. She also had the privilege to serve as a leader of a prayer group called Early Will I Seek Thee for seventeen years. Collins was recently blessed to be the overseer of a women’s group called WOW (Women of Worship) ministry. In her spare time, the author loves meeting her friends at the gym and playing her guitar.
“This book is about the test that a Christian must go through to get to the purpose God has for you,” writes Collins. “We must submit to God even when it doesn't feel good and trust Him no matter what it looks like, knowing we walk by faith, not by sight, and take God at His Word. Godly character must be produced in order to be used by God in an extraordinary way. Psalm 119:71 says, ‘It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn Thy statutes,’ knowing that God uses storms to build this kind of character.
“And looking at the glass half full instead of half empty-the difference between the two is that a half-full glass will keep you positive, looking with spiritual eyes while on your way to the Promised Land. On the other hand, a half-empty glass keeps you looking at the storms and waves that are coming into your life. We will begin to sink if we take our eyes off Jesus. Keep God in His rightful position; then storms look small. But move God off His throne, and your problems look bigger than God. Keep your eyes on Jesus-you are closer to your miracle than you think.”

Audiobooks are the fastest growing segment in the digital publishing industry. According to The Infinite Dial 2019, 50% of Americans age 12 and older have listened to an audiobook. This huge growth can be partly attributed to increased listening in cars, which surpassed the home as the #1 audiobook listening location in the 2019 survey. Smart speaker proliferation also bodes well for future listening growth and more mainstream listening.
