I recently came across this book, Stand: A call for the endurance of the saints, based upon the 2007 Desiring God conference. It features essays from pastors, teachers, and missionaries who have endured--Jerry Bridges, John Piper, John MacArthur, Randy Alcorn, and Helen Roseveare. I have been talking with one of our pastors about the importance of persevering until the end and this is increasingly a desire of my heart. In that regard, this is an excellent volume. These Christians share their accumulated wisdom in what it takes to endure. Knowing the writings of most, it was also fun to see their "personalities" coming out through their writings. In any case, endurance until the end is something we all must think about and this book may help us to understand how that can happen. 4.5 stars.
