Buku When Strivings Cease – Ruth Chou Simons

 In  this hustling, image-forward age of opportunity, we feel more anxious  than ever. Despite all the affirming memes and self-reflections that  dominate social media feeds, approval and worth often seem assigned to  what we do rather than who we are. and we end up constanly feeling like  we’re behind, lacking, and failing-at home, at work, with friend, with  God.

 Ruth Chou Simons knows something about feeling measured by achieve-ment,  perfomance, and the approval of others. As a Taiwanese immigrant  growing up between two culturs, Ruth was always on a mission to prove  her worth, until she came to truly understand the one thing that changes  everything: the extravagant, undeserved gift of grace from a merciful  God. in When Strivings Cease, Ruth guides you on a journey to find  freedom from the never ending quest for self-improvement. She shows you  how to.

● confront the ways you look to superficial means of acceptance and belonging;
● find relief in realizing you can’t be so amazing that you won’t need grace;
● stop seeing God as someone to perform for and start finding delight in responding to his welcome; and
● let go of trying to rely on your own strenght, your own abilities, and  your own savvy by truly understanding the freedom jesus purchased for  you.

With personal stories, biblical insight, practical applications, and  original artwork by Ruth, this transformational book helps you see the  beautiful truth that God’s favor is the only currency you need-because  in christ you are enough.
