The Resilient Life: Overcoming the Crises and Anxieties of Life through Christ

by Paul Chappell

We all face obstacles, difficulties, trials, and heartaches. Without resilience, we go through life increasingly flattened—beaten down by the multiplied challenges we face. Thankfully, God created us with the capacity to rebound, to overcome. He made the human spirit with a kind of resilience that can persevere through incredible tragedy or pain.But while human resilience may enable us to get through a specific need, there is a deeper, fuller, more comprehensive resilience available to those who know Christ. In Christ, we can experience a resiliencethat doesn’t just get through difficulty, but triumphs over it.

With over four decades of pastoral ministry experience, Dr. Paul Chappell writes with understanding and compassion for the tribulations of life, coupled with insight into the promises of God and help from His Word to enable us to overcome.

This was a helpful book in this time of my life. I appreciated the focus on moving through difficult times from both biblical and non biblical individuals. Also I appreciated how it moved you from focusing on the difficulty to focusing on God who is bigger than the difficulty.

This was the last book my dear friend, Steve Chappell, was reading. Naturally, I wanted to do so as well in his honor. It was a very helpful read that speaks to living for Christ faithfully through hardship and the difficulties we are facing in this day. Highly recommend!
