Apart from The Bible, When Strivings Cease is one of the most beautifully written descriptions of the simple, yet profound truth of The Gospel that I have ever read. Like Ruth, I grew up in a performance-based home, where I often felt like my best was never good enough. Embracing the reality of what Christ did for us on the cross will set us free from our performance mentality. As Ruth so aptly put it, “The answer we're looking for isn't the latest and greatest strategy for self-improvement; it's the transforming gift of amazing grace.” When we find ourselves continually striving to live up to God's standards, Ruth reminds us that “realigning your mind, heart, and identity to grace, not works is a daily battle.” If you find yourself weary from always trying to measure up, this book is for you. “The truth will set you free!” (John 8:32)
