Description
Do you strive for spiritual success? Stop it - right now!
In a world driven by success, to fail is almost unforgivable. Even the church follows the pattern of the World in prizing strength and achievement, we build people up on pedestals, and then are dismayed when they fall. Yet God's promise is that it is in our weakness that his strength is made perfect.
Janny van der Klis' story is one of high expectation, mounting pressure and ultimately, breakdown. Yet it was only through this process that Janny was able to learn a vital spiritual truth. That she was loved for being her, not for her spiritual success.
Janny's moving and ultimately triumphant story demonstrates that if you strive for spiritual success, you may miss out on true spiritual greatness.

""Constantly scraping the bottom'. Maybe you know that feeling - of total inadequacy, of hopelessness, of unworthiness, of wondering why God ever called you. In this book Janny reveals that she know this feeling too. But she also shares a secret that many ordinary people have discovered. The bottom is actually the top of God's endless resources.This is Janny's experience all right.It can be yoursAnd mineAnd all this by faith as we follow him in obedience to the great commission and the great commandment.To God be the glory!"
