    About this audiobook

    Reclaim your joy and thrive through the storms of life when you find your strength in God.

    The human soul has a built-in yearning for joy and beauty and all good things. But that craving for life is so easily lost in the pace and demands of modern life. Join New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge as he gives you the tools you need to follow Jesus' path of supernatural resilience.

    Between false promises of ease and comfort on one side and the sheer busyness and stress of daily life on the other, people today are facing a shortage of peace, happiness, and strength. In Resilient, Eldredge reveals a path toward genuine recovery and resilience through Jesus himself.

    Drawing on wisdom from Scripture and Christian tradition, and illustrated throughout with powerful, true stories of grit and survival, Resilient will help you:

    • Tap into the river of life that God promises his people
    • Learn to be patient with yourself--genuine recovery from spiritual and emotional trauma takes time and intentionality
    • Create a plan to foster resilience in your day-to-day life
    • Discover deep wells of freedom and strength through Christ who lives within us

     

    Thriving requires a resilient soul. This book will help you find the resilience you long for when the world has gone mad--and discover in Jesus himself the strength that prevails.

      Death Be Not Proud

      Aug 7, 2024

      THE above metaphoric sonnet was written by John Donne in the 1600s. It has much meaning as does the following one from the Bible book of 1st Corinthians: “Death where is thy sting?” Both quotations openly challenge the subject of death as if it is a

      Ageing Uncontrollably

      Jan 22, 2018

      How do you wish to age? “Oh, I wish to age uncontrollably,” you answer. Indeed, we all should wish to age uncontrollably - but sadly, most people do their darnedest to do the opposite. You see it in older people. Tea at 10am; lunch with friends; the

      This book came at just the right time in my life. I am about to listen to it again. I bought the actual book and will listen to it and have the book in front of me in order to do the exercises/prayers at the end of each chapter. If your reserves have run out and you have no resilience to go on, you have to listen to this book! It will change your life!

      John Eldridge has an incredible ability to answer the adventure, romance of and primacy of following Jesus in all his works. In this volume he covers how to build resilience in light of the recent trouble the world has been through and staying faithful and on course to Jesus. I highly recommend!

      Very insightful, helpful and soothing to listen. I so appreciate the rich content in this audio book. I highly recommend combining the audio book with the book and the 30 days to Resilient in the Pause app.

      Another great one from JE! His passion for a true, undistracted, RESILIANT relationship with God always encourages me and this book did just that. Such wisdom and practical tips to getting back to what matters most in this life.

    • 2/5
      I liked the first half hour, then the book seemed to become very religion- focused and I just had to stop reading. Great concept and love the authors voice but not for me as I have more secular views. Hearing about Jesus and God and the end of time was not what I was expecting, I was expecting something anyone would find helpful. Maybe a sequel is in order? I would give it a shot!
    • 5/5
      Excellent tips on building resilience. The author reads it himself for the audio version which makes it even better.
    • 5/5
      One of and if not my favourite author John Eldredge, helps me connect with my own heart and the heart of God whilst teaching me to read the times and stay alert. It is not only the responsibility of Yahwe to protect me. He himself will ask me why I was sleeping on the job and finding distraction in pleasures distracting me from the pleasure of being with God and the duty he has for me in his Kingdom.
