Unfailing: God’s Assurance for Times of Change (ebook Edition)

Change is difficult to understand and even harder to navigate. As the world seems to spin faster every day, how can you adjust and adapt to a society that seems to pull further from God with each passing day? Adapting to the change and moving forward is stressful and confusing. Find peace and clarity in Samuel's story, seeing how he followed God's guidance through all the seemingly unclear changes. He followed God's plans for his life and found the beauty of putting everything in His hands. 

Study the prophet Samuel and the tumultuous changes he endured to see how you can trust God to guide you through change. Through personal reflections, devotional questions, room for notes, and a guide for small groups, you can tackle the uncomfortable reality of change. Take hope in the promise that His Son has conquered all for you and that His plan is always going exactly to His specifications. When you look at Jesus and God's Word, you will find everything you need to help you through loss and transition. 

Praise for Unfailing

"From our conception in our mother's womb until our last breath, we experience change. Our bodies change—they grow, they get injured, they grow old. Our relationships change as people come and go from our circle of friends and family. Life around us changes as society's values and norms transform. . .How do we find a way to survive the maelstrom of life's variations? Pastor Christopher Kennedy presents a series of vignettes from the life of Old Testament prophet Samuel, who experienced the momentous changes in Israel . . .Through these moments from Samuel's life, Pastor Kennedy shows readers how God's servant Samuel adapted to a changing world. But more importantly, Kennedy demonstrates that Samuel's life points us toward an even greater person who is with us throughout every change in our lives and who is always available to guide us—Jesus, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

"Life moves on, and with it comes challenging changes. And when our increasingly non-Christian culture and bewildering digital technology pile on? We easily become depressed. Through personal reflection or small-group discussion, Unfailing is an opportunity to conquer change. Christopher Kennedy's look at changes in Samuel's life is creative. Most especially, I appreciate how he connects each change to our living Lord Jesus. 'O Thou who changest not, abide with me!'"
