Download or read book Holy Grit written by M. Dean Register and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holy Grit: The Will to Persevere is a refreshing oasis in a culture parched by doubt and despair. It is a clarion call to leave the cave of resignation and begin a godly perseverance movement. M. Dean Register, a gifted pastoral theologian, draws on years of wisdom as he examines prominent figures from the Bible who chose to endure rather than quit. Having observed many people who once burned with devotion only to abandon their faith, Register makes an inspiring and compelling case for recovery. He deftly illustrates truth with engaging anecdotes that motivate readers to rejoin the company of the courageous in order to re-sign rather than resign. He also considers questions such as: • How can we experience the heat of a burning passion to persevere with holy grit? • Why is “waiting” an opportunity to seek Him in spirit and truth? • How can we find ways to forgive others? Holy Grit is a treasure for weary and wounded evangelicals and a straightforward challenge to reignite a love relationship with Jesus Christ. It is good medicine for anyone who needs to persevere when life hits hard.
