#1 New York Times Bestseller · Paperback
Contend - Philip Anthony Mitchell
A call out of passive, Sunday-only faith. Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell walks through the letter of Jude to show how to stand firm for biblical truth in today's culture, and how to win the battles nobody else sees: sin, fear, insecurity and unforgiveness.
90 days to read it. Full refund if it's not for you.
I've watched his sermons for a while, but the book goes deeper. It made me want to stop sitting on the sidelines of my own faith. Every chapter ends with something practical to do, and I've actually been doing them.

FAITH WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE PASSIVE
Jude wrote to a church drifting into compromise and complacency. Mitchell shows why that short letter reads like it was written for today, and what it looks like to contend: faithfully, not just loudly.

Started it Sunday night and had half of it highlighted by Tuesday. I've read Jude before but never like this.
I've been going through the motions for about a year. Church, worship, home, repeat. This book called that out without making me feel condemned, and the charge at the end of each chapter actually gave me something to do.
Bought a second copy for my husband before I'd even finished mine 😅
Our women's group is reading it a chapter a week. Best discussions we've had all year.
Bold but not harsh. He talks about standing for truth and loving people in the same breath, which is exactly what I needed to hear.
My highlighter ran out by chapter 4. Not even joking.
As a newer believer I was worried it would go over my head. It didn't. Clear, full of Scripture, and honest about how hard the fight with sin can be.
Fair warning, this one doesn't let you stay comfortable. That's exactly why I'd recommend it to anyone who feels stuck.
