Publisher's Synopsis
When everyone else leaves, Jesus stays. When all fails, Jesus remains.Rejection is inevitable. Yet we spend little time considering the significant impact it makes on an individual's whole self. When we do, we swaddle it in quippy statements and shallow encouragement--meaningful for just a moment. But rejection--like abandonment, betrayal, and estrangement--leaves aching wounds that challenge and forge our most intimate thoughts of who we believe God, others, and ourselves to be.In Loyal in His Love, Tabitha Panariso blends biblical truth, candid personal stories, and timeless wisdom forged through personal experience and her vocation as a therapist to invite readers into a new way of living. The heart that suffers rejection can't be cured. It must be resuscitated. Its condition warrants more than just platitudes--it merits the full attention of a loyal and loving God.This isn't just another Christian self-help book. Though Tabitha makes ample room for the hurting to process their own stories, points them to God's faithfulness, and challenges the way they think--she doesn't stop there. Jesus lived a life and death marked by rejection. Yet we remember Him for His compassion and generosity. He was and is proof that we could be remembered that way too. Thus, Tabitha guides readers through the life and death of Jesus as a means of counter-cultural response to the pain of rejection.Loyal in His Love ends squarely on the triumph of Christ's resurrection--not just as an antidote but a daily supplement. His restoration is ours--alive and active in our hearts, bodies, and lives. Each devastating moment of rejection is an opportunity to build bridges that will lead us into and through living hope and transformation.
