Empowered by His Presence

God's kingdom isn't about getting more power--it's about being empowered to face life head on and fulfill his purposes for us. For readers who are feeling beaten down and discouraged by constant striving, Kevin Harney points to four surprising and God-given sources of true strength:

· suffering, loss, and pain
· community
· Sabbath and rest
· mission and purpose

Through biblical and personal stories, he shows how each source daily empowers believers to live boldly, serve humbly, and overcome whatever difficult circumstances they may be facing. Perfect for small group study and individual devotion.
