John Piper, Justin Taylor, General Editors
The modern answer for bettering your life is usually "Move on." If your marriage struggles, if your church flounders, if your boss annoys you, if people oppose you, then leave. Make a change. Head for greener pastures.
But God's Word holds up a different standard—a beautiful value that, while difficult, leads to deep satisfaction and great reward: endurance.
Such long, steady, hold-the-course perseverance is especially needed within our vacillating generation. This thoughtful book thus not only elevates the virtue of faithful, godly endurance but bears witness to its daily power in the Christian life through the experiences of John Piper—who provides the context and perspective for the entire book—and four other devoted Christ-followers who each represent a different kind of endurance:
- from John MacArthur's longtime, faithful shepherding of a church . . . to Randy Alcorn's radical obedience in the cause of life;
- from Jerry Bridges's unswerving pursuit of holiness . . . to Helen Roseveare's courageous constancy on the war-torn mission field.
If you are weary in your faith journey, Stand will awaken and solidify rugged, Christ-exalting endurance within you. And if you dream of a Christian culture-shift from brief trial runs to lifelong commitments, John Piper and Justin Taylor's latest offering can serve to seal that vision in your mind and heart.
