They Didn't Give Up (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780834143920)

Persistence is the ability to keep going-to pursue one's dreams and God-given calling-when life turns difficult and disappointments come. ​Persistence is overcoming obstacles and doing hard things when feelings indicate otherwise. ​Success requires persistence. ​No one reaches his or her potential without it. ​

The book you hold in your hands is a collection of personal stories written by Olivet Nazarene University faculty members. ​These individuals share experiences of persisting through challenging seasons of life. ​They hope to encourage students to do the same-to bounce back after getting knocked down, to stand tall when the odds are unfavorable, and to persevere through tough times. ​

These faculty, as the reader will learn, have endured their share of setbacks to get where they are today. ​Along the way, they discovered that frustrations and failures often gave way to new possibilities. ​

They Didn't Give Up. ​ They hope you won't either.
