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.
