With astonishing vulnerability that engages readers from the first page, John and Stasi Eldredge openly discuss their own marriage and the breakthroughs they have won from the challenges they’ve faced. Each talks to the reader about what he and she have learned, providing a balance between male and female perspectives that has been absent from previous books on this topic. John and Stasi begin Love &amp; War with an obvious confession: Marriage is fabulously hard. But beneath and behind the inevitable tensions a man and woman “locked in the same submarine” are going to have, the real battle is against the work of the Enemy, who plots and schemes to tear love apart. The Eldredges show how couples can win “by fighting for each other, instead of against each other.” As they say, “We live in a great love story, set in the midst of war.” “This is a book of wisdom and hope…a beautiful labor that will move your marriage to far deeper joy.” Dan. B. Allender, author of The Wounded Heart

Take hold of hope, beauty, and life in a hurting world.
Maybe you’ve been whiplashed by an unexpected crisis. Or fear has gripped you, causing you to bury your dreams. Perhaps a sad ending has filled you with loss or hopelessness, and made your faith waver.
Don’t despair! God means for us to have JOY–a joy from Him that is defiant in the face of this broken world.
In this six-session video Bible study, Stasi Eldredge invites us with courage, candor, and tender vulnerability to a place beyond sadness or happiness. Using stories from Scripture, she expands on lessons from her book, Defiant Joy, to help us maintain a posture of holy defiance that neither denies nor diminishes our pain but dares us to live with expectant, unwavering hope.

Unwavering Bible Study Guide: Living with Defiant Joy

HarperChristian Resources

In this six-week video study, Unwavering, Stasi Eldredge draws powerful lessons from her book, Defiant Joy, to help us defy, resist, and oppose the powers that threaten to destroy our souls and steal our joy. 
For instance, we may be whiplashed by an unexpected crisis. The man controlled by a legion of demons cried out to Jesus, "Why are you interfering with me?" Sometimes, that's just what Jesus does, especially when our great crisis happens in the very place we don't want Jesus messing with. Jesus interferes with us because he wants to restore to us the joy of knowing who we really are.
Or, fear may have gripped us, causing us to bury our dreams. But we are not meant to live in a tomb. Jesus called to Lazarus, "Come out!" and he shed his graveclothes and left his tomb behind. Our callings are needed in the world; they are not to be buried under the burdens of others' demands or judgments.
Sad endings can also make us waver, from loss or hopelessness. When we study the lessons of nature, we can see how the cycle of endings lead to beginnings, and it helps us cultivate a heart of gratitude. Like Joshua at Gilgal, we can set up stones of remembrance to recall God's faithfulness, and use times of ending to express thankfulness and unlock joy.
Throughout this study, Stasi teaches us how to remain unwavering in the face of numbing loneliness, unexpected crisis, gripping fear, desolate waiting, sad endings, and hurtful offense. God means for us to have joy--a joy from him that is defiant in the face of this broken world.
