Synopsis

Heather Holleman used to live a fragile life, a prisoner to fear, anxiety, and despair. Like many younger women, she knew Jesus, but she wasn’t strong in Him. Her search for comfort seemed unending.

Then one day, while reading a simple statement in Scripture, “God guards the lives of his faithful ones” (Psalm 97:10), that all began to change.

In Guarded by Christ: Knowing the God Who Rescues and Keeps Us, Heather guides women through a series of practical mental shifts that immensely helped her live strong in the Lord. Learn how in Jesus, you are guarded:

• By righteousness instead of condemnation
• By peace instead of anxiety
• By hope instead of despair
• By the Holy Spirit’s power instead of self-effort
• By a crucified life instead of a self-important one

We all need maturity in Christ that prepares us not just to endure anything, but to live from the strength and peace of Jesus in every season. Guarded by Christ will help women cultivate this maturity, reconnecting them with the Savior who rescues, keeps, and holds us with His love.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

“We all need a place of security, a sure protector who will not yield . . . Heather Holleman leads us to know Him as the God who guards us.” —Judy Douglass, director of women’s resources, Cru

Do you know in your head that Jesus cares for you, but struggle to actually apply that truth so you feel less afraid, anxious, or hopeless?

Guarded by Christ is about bridging that gap. Using Scripture and story, Heather Holleman guides you in creatively internalizing the truths that will help you live by:

• Righteousness instead of condemnation
• Peace instead of anxiety
• Hope instead of despair
• The Holy Spirit’s power instead of self-effort
• A crucified life instead of a self-important one

We need maturity in Christ that lets us not just know His care, but experience it. Guarded by Christ will help you cultivate this maturity and live with new mindsets, rooted in the unlimited biblical privileges only Jesus provides.
