About

The parent with the wayward child. The couple whose marriage is in jeopardy. The man who is out of work. The woman stuck in crushing debt. The patient with a bad diagnosis. The student who can't get a fair shake. People hanging by a thread, losing faith and short on strength. What do they all need to hear?

Don't give up.

Our lives are minefields of challenges that take their toll on our courage, our conviction, and even our faith. But God whispers to the weary, Don't give up. Drawing from inspiring biblical stories and first-person testimonies of perseverance, bestselling author and pastor Kyle Idleman encourages you to cast your concerns on God, trust in his love and timing, pray for patience and strength, and seek out support in the family of God.

"I once ran a marathon that had no crowd. No one cheering--until one guy, when I had about a mile to go, standing on a corner who said, 'Looking good, man! Keep going! You're almost there!' It meant the world to me. This book is that guy, all over again. I needed this. We all need this. Thank you, Kyle, for being real . . . and really, deeply encouraging."
