The attempt to keep all the plates spinning, keeping up appearances, acting like we have it all together will drain the life out of you. This book is filled with honesty about Ruth’s own struggles but most importantly it is filled with the truths from God’s Word. There are so many Christian books targeted at woman, and in my opinion, many of them are not very good. Ruth’s website can be found at THIS link. Let me begin by saying that “When Strivings Cease” Replacing The Gospel of Self-Improvement With The Gospel Of Life-Transforming Grace” by Ruth Chou Simons is fantastic. She shows you how to confront the ways you look to superficial means of acceptance and belonging find relief in realizing self-help isn't the answer because 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 strength, your own abilities, and your own savvy by truly understanding the freedom Jesus purchased for you.“If we believe Jesus is all we need, then why do we live our days worn out, fearful, and anxiously striving as if we are lacking and unable to measure up?” -When Strivings Cease In When Strivings Cease, Ruth guides you on a journey to find freedom from the never-ending quest for self-improvement.
As a Taiwanese immigrant growing up between two cultures, 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. Ruth Chou Simons knows something about feeling measured by achievement, performance, and the approval of others. And we end up constantly feeling like we're behind, lacking, and failing at home, at work, with friends, with God. 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. Grace Secures What Striving Cannot In this hustling, image-forward age of opportunity, we feel more anxious than ever.
