Stand: A Call For The Endurance Of The Saints

With contributions by John Piper, John MacArthur, Jerry Bridges, Randy Alcorn, and Helen Roseveare. These powerful calls to godly perseverance from four admired Christians elevate the value and necessity of lifelong faithfulness in the lives of God's people. Many seek to improve their lives by leaving, changing, swapping, or modifying their commitments. But God's Word emphasizes a beautiful value that, while difficult, leads to deep satisfaction and great endurance. Such long, steady, hold-the-course perseverance is especially needed in our vacillating generation. This thoughtful book elevates the virtue of godly endurance and bears witness to its power in the Christian life through the exhortations of John Piper, who provides the context and overview for the entire book—John MacArthur, Jerry Bridges, Randy Alcorn, and Helen Roseveare. Each contributor represents different kinds of steadfastness: MacArthur's faithful shepherding, Alcorn's radical obedience, Bridges' patience through suffering, and Roseveare's courageous constancy on the mission field. "Stand" aims to awaken and solidify rugged, Christ-exalting endurance in those weary in their faith journey or longing to remain firm to the end.
