Resilience God Style

by Robert F Dees

Resilience God Style derives its primary content from Resilient Warriors, published in 2011. Since that time, the Resilient Warriors content (and the associated Resilient Warriors Advanced Study Guide) has proven relevant and popular across a wide range of venues, particularly as the primary texts for thousands of resilience students in psychology and counseling courses at Liberty University. Resilient Warriors content, now rebranded as "Resilience God Style," has also fueled hundreds of faith-based resilience presentations, training seminars, conferences, and small group studies. The Resilience God Style book has a companion Resilience God Style Study Guide for personal and small group use, helping one personalize applications of the content. As well, this Resilience God Style book content is further amplified in the Resilience God Style Video Series, a nine-week study program for churches, small groups, and other organizations. Finally, the Resilience God Style Training Game is available as a fun, dynamic, and educational faith-based board game for home schoolers, Christian schools, and multi-generational family use. We use the term resilience to describe the process of bouncing back, as well as "upstream" actions to prepare for the "storms of life" and to weather these storms "until the destruction passes by¿" (Psalm 57:1b) This resilience is a critical life skill for all of us, recognizing that adversity is an enduring reality and part of the "human condition." Resilience God Style uses Biblical truth as the primary source of enduring resilience principles and makes them available to "warriors" in every endeavor of life.

Resilence--the ability to bounce back after a life crisis, no matter how small or large. We are always facing overwhelming life situations. How will we respond--become bitter or better? Grow in our walk with Christ or walk away in anger and disappointment? We have a choice--how do we grow? Apply spiritual disciplines, surround ourselves with others who will encourage and strengthen us, prepare mentally and spiritually through God's Word and prayer? Make a plan and execute it? Anticipating crisis will more likely mean healthy response--how will I do that?

While Major General Robert Dees uses military analogies, anecdotes, and principles, they can be applied to every person in order to become resilient when the crises come, in addition to preparing us to be life-givers to others.

This is a practical study for both followers of Christ and others. Very readable. An excellent small group study guide.

General Dees writes a compelling book about having resilience in our world. I highly recommend this book for Chaplains everywhere. Strengthen yourself and bring aid to others. He challenges us to decide whether we are eggs or tennis balls. Read the book to discover which one you are.
