Before You Decide to Contend
Not quite. Instead of quick tips or positive thinking, it's built on Scripture and honest stories about the real fight believers face, both out in the world and inside their own hearts.
Truth over trends
The book connects three ideas: standing on biblical truth, knowing you were chosen, and winning the battle within. Each one strengthens the others, so conviction isn't just talk. It's lived out.
Truth + Identity + Victory
Many readers go one chapter at a time, often alongside their morning devotional. It's a hardcover you can mark up and come back to whenever you need it.
One chapter at a time
Everyone's walk is different. Some readers say a single chapter shifted how they saw a struggle, while for others it's a gradual change over weeks of reading and reflection.
Growth, not a quick fix
Its message is rooted in Scripture throughout, and it includes a foreword from a well-known pastor. It's written to point you back to the Bible, not away from it.
Scripture-rooted
It focuses on core Christian convictions like grace, identity, and faithfulness, which most churches share. If you're unsure, it's a great book to read and discuss with your pastor.
Talk with your pastor
Not at all. It's written in a direct, conversational voice that meets you where you are, while still challenging longtime believers to go deeper.
For every stage of faith
We want you to feel confident ordering. If it's not the right fit, reach out to our support team and we'll walk you through our return policy.

Call to Action
A Must For Every Believer
Everyone needs to read this book! It was confirmation of so much the Lord has already been speaking to me… This book is convicting, encouraging, and, most importantly, rooted in the Word of God. It doesn't simply stir your emotions; it challenges you to examine your life, your faith, and your response to God's call. This is more than a good read. It's a call to action!

Study Companion
A Must Read and Must Study!
Contend deeply resonated with me and challenged me to examine what it truly means to share the Gospel. It reminded me that sharing our faith goes beyond quoting Scripture; it means living the Word daily… I believe this is a book that should not simply be read, but studied alongside the Word of God. Let it challenge you, stretch you, strengthen your faith, and move you to action.

Biblical Truth
God's Warriors Stand Up
If I could give this book a billion stars I would… It's such a groundbreaking read on how to truly be a believer in our times. With any points or truths he makes, he contends with real biblical references in a way where he is simply trying to educate, not condemn… This is a book that I will be reading many, many, many times.

Encouragement
A Must Read
This book was exactly what I hoped it would be. Full of knowledge, truth, and the Word… I even got to the point I needed a notebook to write down the things that hit hard so I wouldn't forget them and can be encouraged daily by reading them… This is one I've recommended to several friends and family, and I can't wait to reread it.

Read It Then Read It Again. Bring a Pen
Can't put it down. I'm currently in the chapter about internal contending and I am both convicted and overjoyed… He brings the Word to life and my heart breaks for the Church.
