Resilient Faith
Crossway, 2023
By Lewis Allen and Sarah Allen

WHO: Lewis Allen, senior pastor of Hope Church in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England, and Sarah Allen, northern director of Flourish Course. 

THEY SAY: “If Christians are to develop and stand with a resilient faith, we all must take up the spiritual weapons and armor that Paul details.”

THE BIG IDEA: This book encourages readers to rely on Jesus and his church in small and big adversities of everyday life. 

THE PROGRESSION: In nine sections that each contain a few short chapters, the authors tackle the idea of developing resilient faith through the working of God’s power. By exploring stories, Scripture and case studies, the authors emphasize that readers can be confident in God’s plan for them. 

“For the Christian, resilience is about more than grittiness or self-care. It is about standing firm in your faith and keeping on following Jesus.”

Aging Well in the Faith

Physically, we can live 40 days without food and three days without water, but only seconds without breathing. Spiritually, we can do no better.
