Holy Grit: The Will to Persevere is a refreshing oasis in a culture parched by doubt and despair. It is a clarion call to leave the cave of resignation and begin a godly perseverance movement. M. Dean Register, a gifted pastoral theologian, draws on years of wisdom as he examines prominent figures from the Bible who chose to endure rather than quit. Having observed many people who once burned with devotion only to abandon their faith, Register makes an inspiring and compelling case for recovery. He deftly illustrates truth with engaging anecdotes that motivate readers to rejoin the company of the courageous in order to re-sign rather than resign. He also considers questions such as: • How can we experience the heat of a burning passion to persevere with holy grit? • Why is “waiting” an opportunity to seek Him in spirit and truth? • How can we find ways to forgive others? Holy Grit is a treasure for weary and wounded evangelicals and a straightforward challenge to reignite a love relationship with Jesus Christ. It is good medicine for anyone who needs to persevere when life hits hard.

Discover what it means to become a man of faith through the lives of ten male saints and their experiences pursuing holiness. In Holy Grit, you’ll join Catholic life coach Paul George to consider some of the tough issues facing men today—struggles in marriage, parenting, suffering, and finding purpose—to determine areas for growth and take steps toward living the life for which God created you. You might have grown up with an image of masculinity defined by tough guys on TV—boxers, gangsters, cowboys, fighter pilots, the fastest gun in the West. These guys had courage, backbone, and guts. They had grit. “As a man, I know the struggles of living a manly existence. It is one I deal with daily,” George writes. “I’m no expert, but I’m a gritty guy, like you, grinding it out on my journey.” But George admits that grit isn’t enough to satisfy the longing in a man’s soul: you have to start trusting God and taking seriously the call to be holy. Holy Grit is rich in personal stories, thought-provoking questions, spiritual insights, and mental health tips that help Catholic men like you build the spiritual foundation you need to serve your family, parish, and community. George invites you to examine how saints such as Maximilian Kolbe, Louis Martin, and John Paul II understood themselves as men. Learning from the lessons of the saints, George will help you explore how to: overcome vice with St. Augustine; pursue God through your habits with St. Thomas More; experience God’s healing power with St. Padre Pio; surrender to the will of God with St. Peter; and develop daily discipline with St. Paul. Each chapter introduces a saint, offers practical takeaways for modern men, and includes reflection questions, an action plan, and a prayer.

Each one of us could list the names of people we care for who have tragically walked away from faith. We could also share our own stories of spiritual weariness as we attempt to follow Jesus faithfully in this world. The need for faithful resilience has always been imperative for disciples of Jesus, but never more so than in a post-Christian culture such as our own. This is a book about developing this faithful resilience, what I'm calling "holy grit." Scripture is our best guide in the development of holy grit, particularly the book of Hebrews. The development of perseverance, or grit, is its primary concern. This book goes chapter by chapter through the book of Hebrews highlighting what we can learn about holy grit from its pages. The goal is that a weary Christian would read this book and be encouraged to develop the mindset and the habits that are conducive to perseverance.

"I love the idea of 'Holy Grit!' His book is a radical call to go beyond the superficial and the simple, to press in 'to know Him and the power of His resurrection.' I was challenged, motivated and inspired... It is a much-needed book." -Jennifer Rees Larcombe, Author and Founder of the Beauty From Ashes Trust. "People often talk about discipleship but James has gone further. Not only has he lived out his life as a disciple but he has delved deep into what discipleship looks like in the 21st Century, as he has helped others become followers of Jesus. Holy Grit unpacks discipleship with a biblical bedrock and a wealth of wisdom, experience and passion. James is raw and honest and his writing is enriched with real life stories from young people he has worked with at regen Church. I invite you to read this book, to be challenged in your own walk with God and better equipped to join Jesus in making disciples." -Andy Frost, Director of Share Jesus International "This book is a must-read for anyone interested in discipleship. Filled with true-life stories of ordinary people who have transitioned into making the extraordinary commitment of following Jesus above everything else, it has brilliant wisdom on how mentoring can be used by God to transform lives. James Poch has lived this out for years, and you can now learn from that experience on what topics you should focus on to mentor new believers into mature Christians." -Mark Williamson, Co-founder and Co-director of One Rock

Best-selling author Beth Moore has a remarkable gift for crafting insightful Bible character studies. Millions have been drawn to her inspired lessons, and the media has called her "America's Bible teacher." The PERSONAL REFLECTIONS series continues to reintroduce Beth's most beloved character-driven books, expanding them into 90-day experiences that include nearly all of the text from her original work, plus thoughtful questions and journal space to engage readers throughout this special time of study. Paul: 90 Days on His Journey of Faith is the new presentation of Moore's enduring favorite, To Live Is Christ. Indeed, life with Christ meant a 180-degree turn for the apostle Paul who went from Christian basher to Christian chapmion, from church attacker to church father. When Jesus captured Paul's soul, He got all of him. The same can be true for you.
