Thriving: Trusting God for Life to the Fullest

by Nancy Grisham, Mark Mittelberg (Foreword by)

Overview

Jesus made believers a bold promise: life and life to the fullest. He offers us more than just barely getting by when challenges come our way. But that kind of life doesn't happen automatically. It takes knowing and using what Jesus offers.

Thriving equips readers to live the abundant life through leaning into the God who cares, knowing they are more than enough in Christ, and living the adventure of life in the Spirit. Author Nancy Grisham brings scriptural truths to the forefront. Using personal stories and insights, she helps readers appropriate Jesus's promise in their own lives. Each chapter concludes with a practical reflection and application section perfect for individual study or small group discussions.
