Book: Joy In Surrender
Author: Deborah Stricklin
Publisher: Bridge Logos
When we decide to follow Christ, we soon realize there are trials and struggles we hadn’t anticipated. We come up against adversities in running the race God has called us to. But then there’s encouragement along the way: keep running, keep pressing on!
Joy In Surrender is a narrative cheering all believers with the message of hope to keep running and pursuing the call of God. Deborah Stricklin weaves Apostle Peter’s life through the chapters and connects God’s plan for Peter with our own calling.
Through Peter, we find a transformed life we can emulate as Christians. If God can take Peter— the three-time Jesus denier— to become a humble minister of the gospel than we know God can use us!
If you are a seasoned Christian, this book will affirm you in your daily walk with Christ. And if you are a new believer, Joy In Surrender will guide you in understanding that surrendering to Christ through trials and suffering will not only mature you in your faith but bring joy in your surrender.
We are called to be the light of Christ to the world around us. This book will motivate you to be that light and to use every trial or suffering you experience to press on and keep running because heaven is our eternal reward.
Favorite Quotes:
“Succumbing to fear can position us as victims, and viewing ourselves as victims can cause us to become consumed with our own self-interests. We can become self-centered and self-serving as we continue to dwell on our victimhood. However, choosing confidence in Christ and His Word can lift us from the status of a victim and position us as victors in faith.”
“If we perceive our trials as only useless inconveniences—if we are unable to see the good God can bring from our suffering— then clearly we need to change the way we look at things.”
