“Resilience feels like an exotic rarity today. Christians want to be steadfastly joyful and faithful, yet so often we don’t know how. Lewis and Sarah Allen shine the light of the gospel onto our everyday lives, showing how we can grow spiritual muscle amid the practical challenges we face. Here is wisdom and comfort for all who want to endure and thrive in Christ.”

—Michael Reeves, President and Professor of Theology, Union School of Theology; author, Rejoice and Tremble and Gospel People

“Gentle yet firm where it needs to be, practical and biblical, this book is filled with actionable insights for the struggling Christian to (re)discover resilient faith!”

—Josh Moody, Senior Pastor, College Church, Wheaton, Illinois; President, God Centered Life Ministries

“Such wisdom! Lewis and Sarah Allen will arm you with gospel weaponry to apply to the whole of life, including habits in food, exercise, sleep, relationships, and spiritual discipline—spurring you on to retreat to Christ and thus grow in stamina. This book gave me the gospel backbone to face past hurts, especially those wrapped around the church, and move on to greater resilience, love, and service.”

—Natalie Brand, Bible teacher; author, Prone to Wander: Grace for the Lukewarm and Apathetic

“Realistic, honest, and saturated in Scripture, Lewis and Sarah Allen gently challenge us to have the courage to defy our culture, deny ourselves, and follow Christ when we would rather stay on the sofa.”

—Jonty and Linda Allcock, Pastor, The Globe Church, Central London, United Kingdom; author, Impossible Commands; and his wife, Linda, author, Deeper Still and Head Heart Hands
