We live in a fallen and broken world full of disappointments and the loss of dreams. And there is a cost to following Christ\u2014often painfully felt in close relationships.<\/p>\n<p>In her book, <span class=\"a-text-italic\">Still Standing <\/span>Lina AbuJamra shares how God\u2019s refining process makes Him bigger in our hearts and transforms us into people who are like Him. Our pain can lead to despair and bitterness, <span class=\"a-text-italic\">or<\/span> it can make us more like Jesus. But we must be willing to undergo the refining process\u2014and this hurts.<\/p>\n<p>Lina shows us the truly amazing and beautiful reality that we can have <span class=\"a-text-italic\">joy<\/span> amidst the most difficult of circumstances. Without denying the real pain many of us carry, Lina shows Christians how to rediscover joy. She shows us how God\u2019s presence is our guarantee for joy no matter what we\u2019re going through. Lina looks to current and biblical stories to show us how refined people can be used by God to persevere and build His kingdom.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a-text-italic\">I love talking about God\u2019s radical calling of His children and what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, especially when it hurts. If there is one thing that continues to surprise me as I follow Jesus, it\u2019s the difficulty of the journey, the unexpected delays, the detours, the disappointments, and the waiting. Despite what I know about God, I still catch myself taken aback by the amount of suffering endured in the pursuit of one\u2019s calling. It is my hope that this book inspires hope in the hearts of followers of Jesus who have encountered suffering as they have pursued obedience to Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a-text-italic\">Still Standing <\/span>is an updated edition, previously published with the title\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">Stripped<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Paperback, 171 pages.\u00a0 REGULAR PRICE $16<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>Following Jesus Even When It Hurts<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5315,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[15,21,121],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-5314","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-books","product_cat-christian-living","product_cat-personal-growth","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/5314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=5314"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=5314"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=5314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
