In his second book, President and CEO of Focus on the Family Jim Daly intertwines engaging true stories with Biblical wisdom to show how God can use struggles to strengthen the faith of his followers.In Stronger, Jim weaves together compelling stories and life principles with his trademark warmth and familiarity. Devoid of formulas but filled with biblical insights, Jim treats us to a feast of self-effacing, yet uplifting stories both about himself and about many others he has worked with through Focus on the Family.
Jim writes about the most formidable and powerful strength—the kind that endures and hopes even when all seems hopeless—the kind that is found in only one source: the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. His is an eternal strength, unchangeable and unbreakable.
My Thoughts: Stronger: Trading Brokenness for Unbreakable Strength shows how instrumental difficult times and suffering is to our faith journey. It is during dark and confusing seasons in our life when we choose to continue to follow and trust God or turn our backs on him. The section on choosing to be bitter, beaten, or broken helped me a great deal. It was helpful to read how being broken leads to a stronger faith and character.
Daly admits that the journey through trials is difficult, but if we choose to stay with God-even when we are angry and do not understand him- we will eventually come out the other end better. This book reassures us that there is a purpose in going through challenging times.
