The Power to Endure

One of the most frequently quoted verses in the whole of the Bible is that verse in which the prophet Isaiah speaks of the results of waiting upon God. “That they wait upon the Lord,” he says, “shall renew their strength.” In this pamphlet, published after the first year fighting in World War II, Jones’ reiterates the need for Christian ministers and churches to remember that strength, to “endure”—to keep the faith and the work of the faithful going strong—during times of hardship.
