Stronger: Trading Brokenness for Unbreakable Strength
In his second book, President and CEO of Focus on the Family Jim Daly intertwines engaging true stories with Biblical wisdom to show how God can use struggles to strengthen the faith of his followers.
In Stronger, Jim weaves together compelling stories and life principles with his trademark warmth and familiarity. Devoid of formulas but filled with biblical insights, Jim treats us to a feast of self-effacing, yet uplifting stories both about himself and about many others he has worked with through Focus on the Family.
Jim writes about the most formidable and powerful strength—the kind that endures and hopes even when all seems hopeless—the kind that is found in only one source: the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. His is an eternal strength, unchangeable and unbreakable.Top Highlights
“‘For when I am weak, then I am strong’ (2 Cor. 12:10).” (source)
“I believe that, as is so often the case with Christianity, the Lord turns what at first seems logical to us on its head. Our pain, suffering, and weakness are not so much conditions to avoid or endure, as conditions to cherish. They benefit us in ways we cannot see at the time. Even more important, they accomplish His purposes.” (source)
“David sensed an immediate answer. It wasn’t audible, but it left a deep impression on him nevertheless: We’re going THROUGH. We’re not going OVER or going AROUND this. We’re going THROUGH.” (source)
“Will we allow our circumstances to define God, or will we choose to let God define our circumstances?” (source)
“If God is a loving God, why does He allow us to suffer? What is the purpose of our pain?” (source)
