About this audiobook
Some days we wake to a world of crystal skies and bright possibilities. And other days it's to rain pelting our windows and thunder rattling our roofs. How can we stay strong when the storms of life hit-when a spouse leaves, a client sues, unemployment strikes, or our dreams fail to come true? Is it possible not just to weather these trials, but bound back even stronger through them?
After facing his own fierce storm, author and broadcaster Sheridan Voysey tried an experiment-he would read Jesus' Sermon on the Mount every day for a month. That experiment continued a second month, then a third, as he discovered Jesus' astounding invitation for weak people to become strong, little people to become great, and for all of us to find resilience by putting these radical teachings into practice.
Rich with stories and deep with insight, Resilient is a journey of 90 readings designed to recalibrate your callings, relationships, spiritual practices, and life choices-helping you to find resilience.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sheridan Voysey takes Jesus Christ's Sermon on the Mount as foundation to explain the life-changing gospel of the Bible. You may remember the Beautitudes or the moral claims Jesus did, rebuking the Pharisees and thought that that was his core message. Voysey shows in 90 short chapters that re-reading these chapters in Matthew contain enough inspiration to clarify God's love for the unwanted, sick, unpopular and forgotten people. He invites everyone into His Kingdom, that's not about fear or pressure, and lasts forever. The book contains many lessons to help you focus on God instead of expecting yet another self-help book, moral justice plea or activism theology. Just like Blaise Pascal taught that we all have a Jesus-shaped hole in our life, Sheridan Voysey wants you to accept the invitation to a Jesus-Shaped Life. His love, forgiveness, endurance and resilience should be resembled in our lives. And that's what Resilient: Your Invitation to a Jesus-Shaped Life is all about.To stand strong, despite life's struggles. To genuinely love your enemies in a reaction to hate and anger. Think of trusting in God's providence, seeing miracles happen, and walk in Jesus' footsteps every day. The author quotes from all over the Bible, uses examples from his own life and the faith of other contemporary believers. You'll be surprised about the moving stories on a former Klu Klux Klan member, the founding fathers of Hollywood, and C.S. Lewis, and many more. I highly recommend reading this title.
