Book Summary
Bianca Juarez Olthoff uses the biblical narrative of Paul's shipwreck in Acts 27 alongside personal anecdotes to explore how Christians can develop spiritual resilience. She reframes the psychological concept of grit through a theological lens, encouraging readers to endure trials by anchoring their endurance in God's promises rather than self-reliance. The book serves as a practical, conversational guide to cultivating perseverance and passion in seasons of hardship.
