Gift and Grit: How Heroic Virtue Can Change Your Life and Relationships
Attentive to the challenges faced by young people today—online dating, social media, and more—Gift and Grit: How Heroic Virtue Can Change Your Life and Relationships presents the insights that Andrew and Sarah Swafford (the author of Emotional Virtue: A Guide to Drama-Free Relationships) have learned about fostering authentic relationships, answering life’s deepest questions, and remaining committed to a relationship with God from more than fifteen years of ministry to college students.
Beginning with stories of how God has personally transformed their own hearts and using the interactions they have had with the young adults to whom they minister, the Swaffords approach those who desire a truly meaningful life with a message of faith, hope, transformation, and joy.
This valuable book presents real-life advice on:
- Fostering good and faithful friendships, with both men and women
- Pursuing fulfilling and holy romantic relationships
- Navigating past wounds and how to move forward to find healing
- Achieving the greatness that every person desires
- Bridging the gap between today’s world and the spiritual life
- Living life to the fullest as God intended
To those facing universal human struggles with isolation, insecurity, and sadness, Gift and Grit inspires a deeper look at the healing, forgiveness, and transformation we desperately desire in our lives and in our relationships.
With discussion questions, Gift and Grit is perfect for small groups and book clubs to grow together in faith.
