Synopsis

What if that hard thing you’re going through is not happening to you but for you?

You’ve tried it all―saying the right words and prayers, reading the right Bible verses―but nothing seems to work. What do you do when your faith doesn’t seem to be “working” anymore?

Ashley Morgan Jackson is no stranger to this kind of spiritual exhaustion and discouragement. Much like the biblical character Jacob, Ashley wrestled with God, trying desperately to keep trusting Him despite her pain. It was here she found that sometimes God requires us to hold on to Him so we can let go of everything holding us back.

Rich with biblical encouragement, personal story, and practical application, Tired of Trying is an invitation to wrestle―and face God in your greatest fears, pains, and unanswered questions. You’ll learn to:break out of the cycle of frustration by saying yes to wrestling;identify the lies you are believing about God, yourself, and your circumstances and replace them with truth;shift your perspective so you can choose faith, persevere, and discover God’s purpose for you.Choosing to wrestle isn’t easy or quick―but it does have purpose. What seemingly tears us down may be an opportunity to grow. God is good at redeeming heartache. When we reach the place where the only choice is to run to God or run from Him, we can hold tight . . . because transformation and blessing will come.

I've been in a hard place for a while now and no matter how hard I've tried, I cannot pull myself out. The Word I was once thirsty for has lost its luster. The hours I could once spend in prayer have slowly been filled with other things. The desire for God I had is now a desire to desire Him. And I......more

Goodreads review by Kev on August 06, 2023

This is a powerful book. The title grabbed my attention, and then it completely delivered on the bold claim in the subtitle: How to Hold On to God When You're Frustrated, Fed Up, and Feeling Forgotten. This was the right book at the right time for me. If the title caught your attention like it did f......more

Goodreads review by Scott on March 21, 2023

Writing from painful experiences Ashley Jackson teaches us how to rest, how to struggle but in a good way. She doesn’t give us the Sunday School platitudes of read your Bible more, pray more, serve more to get out of your difficult situation. She advises to trust and listen and wrestle with the toug......more
