Description
Advance Praise
"This is the best book on endurance I have ever read. As I began, I knew this book was going to be different—Trillia Newbell has given us something that is deeply wise, practical at every turn, and laden with illuminating illustrations. Again and again she points us to Jesus and reminds us each time that the hope for our endurance is not found in our faithfulness but rather made possible because of his. You don't have to dread the race ahead; you can look at the road ahead with anticipation and hope. This book will tell you why."
-Paul David Tripp, pastor and author of New Morning Mercies
"The longer I live, the more I want to finish the Christian race well and hear the words, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' Trillia Newbell's newest book, Sacred Endurance, offers practical and personal encouragement to faithfully live the Christian life, daily looking to Jesus. Amid life's hardships and struggles, her words will refresh your soul and spur you on in the race."
-Melissa Kruger, director of women's content at The Gospel Coalition, author of In All Things
"If you're reading this, you're breathing. And if you're breathing that can only mean one thing—God isn't finished with you yet! No matter the premature judgments of others, your race is not over! Sacred Endurance is just the oxygen we need to help us hear those two words from our Father we long for, 'Well Done!'"
-Bryan Loritts, lead pastor, Abundant Life Christian Fellowship, author of Insider/Outsider
"As a friend and colleague of Trillia Newbell, I can testify that the author lives out the message of this book every day. She is characterized by joy, exuberance, and persistence. Maybe you, like me, are sometimes finding yourself feeling exhausted by the whirl of life all around us. This book will equip you to keep running, with your feet on the ground and your eyes on the prize."
-Russell Moore, president, The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission for the Southern Baptist Convention

Trillia’s writing is always warm, personal, and deeply encouraging, and this book is no exception. Sacred Endurance is a call to live a faithful Christian life, but doesn’t come across as at all preachy, unattainable, or shallow. Trillia offers personal stories, scriptural truths, and wonderful encouragement from a fellow Christian. One of the most encouraging books I’ve read this year, and one I will definitely read again.
(I received a free advanced reading copy from NetGalley in return for my honest review.)

“Because he first pursued us, we can pursue him with sacred endurance.”
This book will encourage you, challenge you, and draw your heart towards Jesus. Trillia Newbell communicates how to live faithfully as a follower of Christ in the midst of hardships and the mundane—and she does it beautifully!
I’m incredibly grateful for this book, and I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know!

I have been a big fan of Trillia Newbell and when I saw she had a new book coming out, I knew I wanted to read it.
Sacred Endurance:Finding Grace and Strength for a Lasting Faith is her newest book. In this book, she talks about a faithful godly life until the end. Trillia writes in a way that is easy to understand but also is centered on truth.
So much of our life here on earth can make enduring hard. Trillia points us back to the greater hope we have in Jesus. She helps us to see how we can endure because of Him. When the day to day wears us down, this book is one we can recall and remind ourselves of the truth. I’m grateful for Trillia for writing it.
I was blessed to receive an electronic copy via the publisher. All opinions are my own.

A well-written, challenging book on living an authentic Christian life in these troubling times in which we live. The author does not just base this on her own opinion, but shares Scripture to help convict and encourage us along the way. This is a book to return to again when events in life seem out of control. I liked her personal examples she used to help apply these principles, but also the straightforward way this author challenged us to walk worthy of the Lord.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

I received an ARC from IVP Books via NetGalley this review is my personal opinion.
What a great book, I can only say a good thing about this book. Lovely and unexpected, with a biblical focus; Trillia Newbell opens up and in my case the answer to many questions I had for a time now. I like that she says it, that this book was not: How to.. You name it. But how at the end this Christian life, is not a race to be won fast. But only by the grace and power of God in us. I like the remainder of how important is for us to get rather of all that takes us away from God. But it must important how(even do we don’t want to) we will sin and do and say the wrong thing. But that God will never reject us and that he cares is about my heart and not my performance. I must say this book confronts me about my motivations and how they need to be rooted in Christ. It remained me that everything I think I need to do to “gain” God’s love or favor, I’m saying that his sacrifice in the cross was incompleted; just wow!
This quote was one of my favorites:” We think that our success and others, our joy, our circumstances, and all that God will do or will not according on how we act, pray or think”
On to examine our lives, to not ignore the sorrows and the pain, but to hold on the truth of who he is. None likes to purposefully suffer, but to endure and for our character to be built, is not going to be easy. But like Trillia Newbell reminds us through the book we are not alone That at the end we live in the fallen world, but we need each other, that is important to belong to a good community that helps us grow in the love of Christ.
I believe this book is a must-read for all Christians, with a fresh and approachable language. Trillia Newbell gives us a guideline and opens up to in any case important themes that sadly have been misunderstood. We also have the questions discussion for those reading in a group. I think that will be interesting and an opportunity to shared and build a friendship.
Truly grateful to IVP for the ARC of this book.
