A fallen world is full of reasons to lose heart. From the large-scale tragedies of war, famine, and natural disasters, to the more personal tragedies of broken relationships and broken dreams, it can be difficult to avoid discouragement--even for the believer. And yet, Scripture calls us to a life of hope, based not on wishful thinking or avoiding our problems but based on who God is, what he has done, and what he is still doing. In this short, giftable book, pastor Jason Meyer shows you that though the reasons for discouragement seem strong, the reasons we have to take heart and hold on to hope are stronger yet. Through biblical truth and personal stories, Meyer encourages the weary and anxious believer by shining light on the nature of reality, the nature of God, and the intersection of the two in our daily, rubber-meets-the-road lives. The result is a book that lifts our spirits in a world that too often seeks to drag us down.

This devotional by Dave and Jan Dravecky encourages and comforts those who suffer, grieve, and find themselves in need of hope.

Do Not Lose Heart is a legacy of encouragement for men and women struggling with the adversities of life.

Based on 2 Corinthians 4:6-18. Do Not Lose Heart affirms the deep peace that comes from trusting in a wise and loving God.

“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

In an era marked by distress, division, hyperindividualism, narcissism, and church decline, how is it that our collective levels of human empathy keep decreasing? We've become so overloaded with fear and anxiety that we choose to feel numb rather than feel at all. Whether it be by deliberate choice or divergent coping mechanisms, our generation has comfortably molded toward choosing apathy over feeling. Not only have we found a way to not care, but we've found a way to not care that we don't care. In a faith that requires all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, how do we cope with a generation that doesn't care that they don't care? Do Not Lose Heart dives into the process of becoming more like Jesus in a new generation, setting aside this culture of flakiness and instant-gratification, while seeking to build up compassionate, empathetic hearts that counteract the chaos of the present age. Now, more than ever, followers of Jesus need to construct a deeply-layered faith that tunnels inwardly so far that it extends outside of ourselves to magnify the love of Jesus in the world around us.
