Product Description: Grit (Character Strength) by Sara Antill

Flee or Fight?  You experience adversity. You know what it is like to endure hardship. You hold on, buckle down, and ride the wave of bad fortune, praying you will make it out alive. You just do what it takes to survive. But what if these trials had the raw potential to change your life? What if the challenges you face could propel you to the next level of faith and maturity? What if you were designed to thrive in adversity, not merely “get by?” John Bevere wants to take you on a journey to unlock your tenacity. As he recounts the stories of Jesus and John the Baptist, as well as those of many contemporary believers, he presents a powerful pattern: These pillars of faith do not just hang on and survive troubles. They look adversity in the face and stare it down. Armed with the truth in the Word and the power of prayer, you, too, can join the determined ranks of the army of God.  Will you fight relentlessly? Learn today how to fight, never give up, and enjoy all God has for you. “John Bevere has a mandate on his life to serve the body of Christ.  His desire to see everyone find and flourish in their God-given destiny is evident in his teachings.  His love for Christ and deep revelation of the Word of God will have you pursuing the cause of Christ, relentlessly.”  --Brian and Bobbie Houston, senior pastors, Hillsong Church
