Does a day without difficult news seem out of reach? Does
this world seem topsy-turvy at best, toxic at worst? Max Lucado’s sound
biblical insights and signature storytelling provide strength and encouragement
amid the current chaos and exhaustion.
In Unbreakable Courage, today's headlines and
the truth of Scripture intersect in compelling fashion. Max offers a fresh look
at the story of Elijah the prophet, showing readers how they can stand strong
day by day in the face of turbulent times, regardless of the challenging
circumstances they may face.
In today’s world, we see echoes of those unsettled,
contentious times Elijah endured. Radical departures from long-held truths are
taking center stage. Change is evident everywhere we look—in homes, churches,
schools, government, and the workplace. We often feel as if we’re swimming
upstream in a downstream world. Yet the story of Elijah urges us to have hope
in the one true living God. Elijah’s unswerving belief fueled his courage, and
it will do the same for us.
Max provides a field manual on how to have strong faith
during a time of spiritual drought, anxiety, and exhaustion. He invites us to
lean in and let Elijah’s story remind us to
- wait
for God in solitude and silence,
- pray
impossible prayers,
- live
with an expectation of divine disruption,
- turn
to God during emotional lows, and
- understand
the spiritual battles we fight.
Elijah’s story will help calm readers’ fears and guide their
steps. Faith in our unchanging God instills a capacity for living a renewed
life of courage. With God’s help and following Elijah’s inspiring example,
readers will discover strength to face the challenges of this life and the
courage to make a difference.
