Abiding Grace: A Collection of Reflections, Stories, and Lessons from a Life Anchored in Christ

by Bethel Grove

What if living by faith isn’t about having all the answers, but learning to abide in the One who does?

When most of us are trying to figure out how to live for Christ, we struggle with the feeling that no matter how hard we try, we will never be good enough. This ends up leading us to rely on our own strength, only to find ourselves falling short. This is especially true when our lives do not turn out the way we planned. In these seasons, we tend to isolate and avoid facing our struggles. It makes us wonder if there is a better way.

In the book Abiding Grace, Bethel Grove shares her personal journey through a collection of essays and spoken word poetry, drawing from the stories and events of her young adult life that shaped her into a disciple of Christ. From choir tours to a ministry internship, from a tornado to a family crisis, these reflections explore what it means to abide in God's grace in every season, even when life is uncertain and you don't have the answers. These stories and reflections invite you to live a life anchored in Christ by learning what it means to abide in His grace.
