Endorsements
“Encouragement on steroids. I have read ten chapters in the space of an hour. What a lovely, lovely, lovely book. How refreshing it is to witness Christians talking openly about seasons of discouragement and how they overcome them and sometimes difficulty in ministry. Especially when it comes to finance. What a beautiful book to read when one is feeling down.” (Instagram)
“Brilliant! Don’t wait until you’re feeling down – read it now, then when you’re feeling sorry for yourself you can go back and see what Simon suggests…It’s like hearing from your best friend giving you the support when you most need it. It is written from experience and based on the truth that God loves us and that we can trust Him. I loved it!” (Facebook)
“This is at heart a book of help and a book of hope. In a season of great uncertainty and anxiety, it speaks very practically, with honesty and insight. Simon’s confidence in God’s commitment to bring us through the challenges and struggles we all face is infectious. He encourages a way forward – rooted in the promises of God’s Word and a fresh rhythm of personal prayer – to live a deeper and renewed life in daily relationship with Christ.”
Christ Cartwright, Former General Superintendent. Elim churches
“Simon Lawton’s book helps us see that it’s not over until God says so, and as long as there is breath in our lungs, there is hope. Courage for the discouraged wasn’t just written by his pen and ink though; – it’s been forged in the crucible of his own story. The hammer of hardships has hit the anvil of Simon’s life in so many ways. Yet every time he has gone through a trial, Simon has allowed God to use it. This is a book that will help those of us who know that our lives aren’t perfect and that God’s plans can sometimes feel confusing, to see that God is always at work in our lives. Simon reminds us that we don’t need to understand God to trust him, and that in the end God wins.”
Malcolm Duncan, pastor, author, theologian, broadcaster, FRSA
“Courage for the Discouraged is filled with bite size devotionals that carry large scale impact. If you find yourself in a season of frustration, disillusionment, uncertainty, or even angry at God, then this book is an excellent tool to realign you to God’s truth. Filled with grace, saturated with scripture, and infused with the author’s testimony, you will find someone who has navigated challenging seasons himself and yet come out the other side with wisdom and tools to help others walk free. If you need a dose of courage today, read this book!”
Jen Baker, Author and speaker
“Those who read Simon Lawton’s first book, Imagine, will not be disappointed by Courage for the Discouraged. Biblical, inspirational and practical. Simon has packed years of pastoral and personal experience into this volume and all to good effect. Read it as a daily devotional, a personal spiritual development handbook or, if you preach regularly, as something to spark your preaching imagination. Or just read it for a bit of encouragement. It works on all those levels.”
Pastor James Glass, Elim Regional Leader, North Midlands, Northwest England and Scotland
“How do we gain courage when discouraged? For those facing discouragement a wealth of insight is available from the truths contained within this book. Simon skilfully shows that courage comes from doing the right thing at the right time. Simon shares biblical understanding that will help with the process of dealing with the discouragement that often arises from difficult life situations. I feel sure the practical principles gained from his personal experience will be a tool to equip readers in this challenging area, both now and in the future.”
Stephen Derbyshire, Senior Pastor, City Gates Church, Ilford
