Proverbs 4:23 tells us, “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” Sheridan Voysey believes that if you have a heart for God, you can build a solid foundation to withstand life’s storms. Using the Sermon on the Mount as a starting point, Voysey delivers 90 readings that help you recalibrate your heart to that of Jesus—who lived out everything He preached. Resilient: Your Invitation to a Jesus-Shaped Life encourages you to live boldly in the midst of life’s challenges, with Jesus’ example as the driving force. "Refreshing and wise, Resilient takes the words of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount right out of the 'nice-but-unrealistic' box we've placed them into, and centers this rich teaching smack into our messy real lives where it belongs. Resilient is hopeful, practical, and challenging—I loved it." -- Sarah Bessey, author of Jesus Feminist and Out of Sorts “Beautifully written, deeply inspiring meditations to begin or end the day. Both the beginning disciple and the senior saint—and everyone in between—will find these meditations prodding, challenging, and nurturing.” -- Ronald J. Sider, author of Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger, and Senior Distinguished Professor of Theology, Holistic Ministry, and Public Policy, Palmer Seminary at Eastern University “Jesus’ Sermon is the kingdom made practical. The practicalities of living God’s love, of enacting God’s grace, of taking up our cross and walking in the resurrection. Sheridan's meditations on Christ's teachings are a welcome addition for anyone wanting to get caught up in this wonderful business of putting Jesus' words into practice.” -- Jarrod McKenna, national director of CommonGrace.org.au, cofounder of First Home Project and #LoveMakesAWay, activist, and pastor "This is a wonderful collection of short but deep reflections on what a difference Jesus' Sermon on the Mount might make to us if only we let it. Read it at your own risk. Once you have read it your life may never be the same again." -- Paula R. Gooder, Theologian in Residence, Bible Society, United Kingdom "From a personal journey through the Sermon on the Mount, Sheridan Voysey encourages disciples of Jesus to develop a strong spiritual heart. Sheridan writes from experience and the book will prove a blessing to all, as it certainly is for me." -- Rev. Keith V. Garner, superintendent/CEO of Wesley Mission, Sydney, Australia "When a heart is teachable in and through the trials of life, God grows a reservoir of wisdom through which he can move, act, and reveal. Sheridan Voysey is that heart and he shares much truth and wisdom in this book. You will be encouraged in your own heart to keep believing Jesus for your life. Thank you, Sheridan, for leading us to deeper waters of truth in Christ." -- Denalyn Lucado, coauthor with Max Lucado of Lucado Treasury of Bedtime Prayers "Many books have been written on the Sermon on the Mount, but few have focused on its underlying theme of resilience. Sheridan Voysey has done that now in this fine devotional. Through compelling stories and deep biblical reflection, Resilient reveals how Jesus’ teaching can build spiritual, emotional, and relational strength when put into practice. I highly recommend it." -- Arch Hart, author of Flourish, and Senior Professor of Psychology and Dean Emeritus, Graduate School of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary "When it comes to the Sermon on the Mount, Sheridan Voysey has now written the resource of first resort. What a gem!" -- Leonard Sweet, author of From Tablet to Table, weekly contributor to preachthestory.com, and professor at Drew University, George Fox University, and Tabor College "'So come ... whoever you are. Jesus takes all.' Resilient ’s first entry grabbed me and invited me to keep reading. In digestible helpings, Sheridan Voysey serves up a bold invitation to a Jesus-shaped life that woos me to say yes ... and to keep saying yes." -- Elisa Morgan, author of The Beauty of Broken and President Emerita, MOPS International "There was once a teacher who drew an enormous crowd and he beckoned them to sit on a hillside and learn of him. If you are hurried, stressed, confused—if you need peace, if you’re looking for real happiness, listen to the teacher. Sheridan Voysey has captured the essence of what Jesus said to the poor, the brokenhearted—and his words echo across time and into every willing heart. May you be comforted and happy as you sit and listen to the one who loved you most." -- Chris Fabry, author of Every Waking Moment and host of Chris Fabry Live! Some days we wake to a world of crystal skies and bright possibilities. And other days it’s to rain pelting our windows and thunder rattling our roofs. How can we stay strong when the storms of life hit—when a spouse leaves, a client sues, unemployment strikes, or our dreams fail to come true? Is it possible not just to weather these trials, but bound back even stronger through them?   After facing his own f
