The Power of Weakness: Embracing the True Source of Strength - Softcover

“When I am weak, then I am strong.” Do we really believe these words penned by the apostle Paul? If so, why do we often rely on our own wits, strength, and resources when the power that God holds is so much greater? Does God’s power matter if He’s already given us talent and ability? Author Dan Schaeffer explores these questions and helps us grasp the biblical truth that God longs to use our limitations to display His greatness. The Power of Weakness invites you to trust God with your abilities and inabilities and find relief from the wearying pursuit of success.

“When I am weak, then I am strong.” Really? Do we really believe—or even understand—these words penned by the apostle Paul? If so, why do we often rely on our own wits, strength, and resources when the power that God holds is so much greater? Does God’s power matter if He’s already given us talent and ability? These are some of the questions Dan Schaeffer explores in The Power of Weakness. “We’ve come to believe that we should do everything we can to try to shed all our weaknesses and become powerful,” states Schaeffer. But, as he points out, that perspective is not biblical. The Power of Weakness encourages you to grasp the biblical truth that God longs to use your limitations to display His greatness. This careful examination of Paul’s statement helps you shift your focus from your abilities and inabilities to God and encourages you to give God the glory when He accomplishes what you could never orchestrate or predict. Plunge into the pages of this insightful book, embrace the true source of strength, and find relief from the wearying pursuit of success.
