Description
"We all need a place of security, a sure protector who will not yield . . . Heather Holleman leads us to know Him as the God who guards us." --Judy Douglass, director of women's resources, Cru
Do you know in your head that Jesus cares for you, but struggle to actually apply that truth so you feel less afraid, anxious, or hopeless?
Guarded by Christ is about bridging that gap. Using Scripture and story, Heather Holleman guides you in creatively internalizing the truths that will help you live by:
- Righteousness instead of condemnation
- Peace instead of anxiety
- Hope instead of despair
- The Holy Spirit's power instead of self-effort
- A crucified life instead of a self-important one
We need maturity in Christ that lets us not just know His care, but experience it. Guarded by Christ will help you cultivate this maturity and live with new mindsets, rooted in the unlimited biblical privileges only Jesus provides.
