Learning God’s grace is one thing, sharing it with your enemies is another.
After months of popularity, Erin Mitchell’s life is shattered when she catches her boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend. Now, rescued by God, Erin has the opportunity to start a new life, but what does she do when her old life doesn’t magically disappear? Standing at the crossroads of her future, Erin battles the mistakes of her past with the broken pieces of her life in her hands. Derailed by another bad choice, Erin struggles to remember the lessons she’s learned alongside her new friends, that only God can take the broken pieces and make them whole again.
No one said being a Christian in the midst of the world would be easy. Strive, according to its name, demonstrates how necessary it is for Christians to strive, by staying on course following Jesus. As Erin finds out, being different from the world is never easy, but knowing Jesus is with you wherever you go and already has a special place for you makes it worth it.
