2024 ECPA Christian Living Book of the Year Winner
Ever wonder if you’ve stumbled one too many times for God to use someone like you? Could you benefit from an encounter with God’s unending, unbending, unswerving love and devotion?
If your answer is yes, it’s time for you to see how God’s grace transformed Jacob’s life. And if you feel undeserving of God’s grace, this book will serve as a refresher course on God’s perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things.
God Never Gives Up on You is for the strugglers among us and the fumbler within us. For those of us who are part saint, part scoundrel; we mean well, but we don’t always do well. We have breakthroughs and breakdowns, often in the same hour. We need no reminder of our failures. But where can we find examples of God’s steadfast grace?
No one is more suited to help assure you of God’s grace than Jacob. He was less a prodigy and more a prodigal. Strong on savvy. Weak on conscience. Jacob took advantage of his famished brother and pulled the wool over the eyes of his dying father, yet God never turned his back on Jacob. And he won’t turn his back on you. If you are ready to start counting on God’s grace and believe he never gives up on you, this book is for you.
Discussion questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was so specifically revelant to me at this time in my life!! I needed to have a deeper understanding of God’s Grace to all believers!! I am encouraged and uplifted to continue my life anchored in Christ knowing full well I will always fall short, but for God’s Amazing all encompassing Grace!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Awesome. God bless you. Loved every bit of the chapters
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic! A Beautiful picture of grace, restoration and second chances.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Why do we still slide back into our old habits even after we declare that we have been born again? Why are our hearts still stormed by anger, hatred, arrogance, unforgiveness, selfishness, greed and laziness even after we proclaim his glory daily? The question is not why, but how, how come despite all who we are, just like Jacob, God is still faithful to us?! Just as Lucado said in this book, grace exists Because of our brokenness. What Amazing Grace! I always enjoy listening to Lucado's book as I can always senses God's intentions behind his words. God has spoken through the author to encourage those of us, who despite our struggle to look to the cross, might still find ourselves fall into the mud. Read on, you will be encouraged, if you are brave enough to admit how broken we were, still are and will always be, and how amazing God's grace was to us, still is and will forever be!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Uplifting and a testament of hope in the midst of imperfection. Relatable through and through!
