Just Stand

God’s Strength Made Perfect in Our Weakness

In Just Stand, Kris Vallotton powerfully and movingly guides you into this life-sustaining truth: the God of mercy and grace invites you come to the place where your weakness meets His divine strength, so that you can be strong in Him no matter what you might be going through.

None of us is exempt from stress, loss, and perplexing situations. It is easy to feel like we just want to give up. But what we really need is to Just Stand.

Ephesians 6:13–14 says, “…that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,¿and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore....” How do you rise above trials and difficulties when you feel that you have no more strength to keep going? Kris shows you how to rest completely in God and then stand in His mighty power and promises as you watch Him write the rest of your story. “My mission,” Kris says, “is to give that pain a purpose and encourage people that they are going to be okay. Often, the darkest seasons of our lives are cocoons: environments that give birth to a radical transformation in and through us. This book reveals practical wisdom for navigating these epoch seasons with grace so that the darkness does not overtake us.”

With chapters like “It's Dark in Here: Metamorphosis,” “Piercing the Stratosphere,” and “In the Belly of the Whale,” Just Stand: What to Do When You Want to Give Up is a restorative guide for moving through the difficulties of life with joy and peace. It is full of down-to-earth wisdom, inspiring stories, and heavenly insights to equip you with the tools you need to lead a vibrant and noble life of purpose.
