How to persevere to the end

The modern answer to improve your life is often to "leave the past behind and move on." If your marriage is troubled, if your church is faltering, if your boss annoys you, if others oppose you, leave. Change. Seek new and greener pastures.

But the Word of God upholds a different criterion; a beautiful value that, though difficult to maintain, leads to deep satisfaction and reward: perseverance.

Long-term perseverance that stays the course is especially necessary in our wavering generation. This thoughtful book not only exalts the virtue of faithful and godly perseverance but also provides testimony of its daily power in the Christian life through the experiences of John Piper—who provides the context and perspective for the entire book—and four other faithful followers of Christ, each representing a different type of perseverance: from John MacArthur's faithfulness as a long-time church pastor…to Randy Alcorn's radical obedience to a pro-life cause; from Jerry Bridges' unwavering pursuit of holiness…to Helen Roseveare's courageous steadfastness in a war-torn mission field.

If you feel weary on your faith journey, *How to Persevere to the End* will awaken and solidify in you a strong, Christ-exalting perseverance. And if you dream of a cultural shift from fleeting attempts to a lifetime of commitment, this book can help seal that vision in your mind and heart.
