About the Book



Learn to rest in God's help and strength for every one of your inadequacies. Let these Scripture-filled reflections remind you that Jesus loves you, even in your weakness. You can rely on the strength of God in any challenge you face.



Book Synopsis



We all feel weak sometimes. He Is Strong encourages you to rest in God's help and strength for every one of your inadequacies.

Join Emily A. Jensen, bestselling coauthor of Risen Motherhood, on a devotional journey to find God's strength amid your weakness. Whether you think of yourself as overwhelmed, overlooked, or just not very good at life (or perhaps you avoid facing your own shortcomings), Emily shares relatable stories about her own feelings of weakness and points you to the gospel for wisdom, hope, and comfort. As the familiar hymn says, "They are weak, but he is strong."

Let these Scripture-filled reflections remind you that Jesus loves you, even in your weakness. You can rely on the strength of God in any challenge you face.



Review Quotes




"He Is Strong invited me to humbly consider my weaknesses while leaning into Christ's strength. With engaging stories and Scripture woven throughout, this devotional will encourage the fainthearted with the hope of their strong, steadfast God."
--Hunter Beless, founder of Journeywomen and author of Read It, See It, Say It, Sing It!



"'I am weak, but He is strong.' More times than I can count over the years, I have awakened with that refrain running through my mind. To this day, whenever I feel overwhelmed with a sense of my weakness and inadequacy, that sweet chorus I learned as a child infuses my heart with fortitude and grace. The truth of His unassailable strength and love will do the same for you, as Emily so beautifully reminds us in this book."
--Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, author and founder of Revive Our Hearts



"Emily's invitation to embrace our weakness because God is strong will give you hope and encouragement for life's most challenging circumstances. Her personal stories and reflections along the way are a gift to any reader!"
--Ruth Chou Simons, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, artist, and founder of GraceLaced



"For every woman who feels beset with weakness, utterly aware of her need for strength beyond herself, He Is Strong offers time-tested wisdom to fortify the weary soul. Emily Jensen's writing wraps the reader with a comforting hug of encouragement and leads with a guiding hand to the source of strength--Jesus Christ. This devotional will be a staple on my nightstand, serving as a constant reminder to accept my weakness as an opportunity to experience God's strength."
--Gretchen Saffles, best-selling author of The Well-Watered Woman, founder of Well-Watered Women



"In a culture that prizes strength and prowess, Emily Jensen extends a biblical and welcome invitation to acknowledge our weaknesses in the presence of Christ--the only One who is all-powerful. With theological grounding and practical and poignant insights from her own life, she welcomes her reader to lean on Christ, who knows our weaknesses (and embraces them) better than we do ourselves."
--Amy Gannett, founder of Tiny Theologians and author of Fix Your Eyes



"To believe that even in our deepest inability--in our abject weakness--God still loves us and is in fact for us is, in my estimation, the greatest desire of the human heart. In He Is Strong, Emily Jensen rehearses the strong grace of Christ available for the weakest of believers like you and me. Full of refreshing transparency and clear biblical application, these devotions will strengthen your soul and stir your affections for Jesus."
--Jared C. Wilson, pastor, professor, and author of Love Me Anyway



"We are small. We are finite. We are weak. There is no shame--and in fact there is great benefit--in simply admitting what is so demonstrably true. For it is when we admit our weakness that we can turn to God for his strength. That is the theme of this lovely series of reflections, which will bless all who are enduring a period of difficulty, a season of sorrow, or a time of trial. You will learn that you have a powerful Father whose heart is inclined toward you and whose hand is stretched out to bless and strengthen you."
--Tim Challies, author of Seasons of Sorrow



"When we feel weak and insufficient, it's tempting to try to overcome our lack of power by working harder. Or perhaps we give up altogether and claim the impossibility of moving forward in our weaknesses. Thankfully, Emily Jensen's new devotional book, He Is Strong, gives us a better option. With refreshing honesty and biblical wisdom, Emily turns our eyes away from ourselves and onto Jesus--the One who is able to give us strength when we are weary and courage when we are fearful."
--Melissa Kruger, author and director of women's initiatives for The Gospel Coalition

I purchased this book as a longtime fan of the author, not honestly expecting the exact content to be super helpful to me personally. However, as I read the introductory chapters, I realized this was exactly the book I needed in this life season. Jensen is both winsome and wise, kind and straightforward, helpful and understanding as she takes the reader through various examples of weakness we all feel, using Scripture as the guide. This book is applicable and practical for anyone, not just moms (for those familiar with Jensen's work at Risen Motherhood.) I highly recommend it to anyone looking for encouragement!

have just started it but it’s been such a refreshment to my soul. As a 2nd time mom - newly postpartum I am really resonating with the devotions. They are a gentle and deep reminder of Gods grace and sufficiency. Your podcast and Risen Motherhood book has also blessed me greatly!

Truth Well-Told

I love the short, memoir-style devotionals (that are personal + relatable!)…and the constant hope that is found in pointing away from myself and unto Christ! Most importantly the Truth is told. And secondly, I’d say it is well-told. (Emily has a gift - this is a BEAUTIFUL read!) :)

I really enjoyed this little book! The introduction was poignant and actually made me cry. Each chapter looks a weaknesses through personal stories from the author and offers Biblical answers for the difficulties highlighted. I appreciated Emily’s honestly so much— some weaknesses are true weakness, but some are part of our sinful nature, and she didn’t shy away from looking at these ditches. This is a beautiful and helpful book; would make a great gift!

Beautiful! Inside and out!

Not only is this devotional beautiful on the outside, but the content is just as beautiful, if not more, on the inside. It is so thoughtful and well put together that it felt like Emily was in my mind (the minds of her readers) when she wrote this. Through the stories she tells and the scriptures she draws from, it helps you view your weaknesses in the light of truth, God’s truth. It is not your typical 30 day devotional, which I loved. It truly is one that you can read all at once or in 30 days. My favorite part is that I can go back in the book on a day when I am struggling with a certain weakness (like day 15 When You’re Super Tired) and re-read that devotional for encouragement. This is definitely a devotional I will be passing along to family and friends.

I'm positive there has never been a devo that has pulled thoughts out of my very head and shown me how to speak to them through scripture as well as He is Strong. How many of us sang Jesus loves me in our lifetime? In this 30-day devotion, Emily Jensen walks us through all the ways that we may feel inadequate and weak. And all the more ways that Jesus is more than adequate and strong. Emily does a phenomenal job bringing in real life situations and tying it back to the gospel showing us that our strength is in Christ alone. My only wish for this book was that it was more than 30 days. This will be in a constant rotation during my quiet time. What a beautiful work of art!

I don’t typically read a devotional book alongside my daily Bible reading, but when I heard Emily Jensen was writing one (I’m a long time fan of Risen Motherhood!), I knew I wanted to read it. When I saw the opportunity to join the launch team, of course I jumped right on that as well! At many points in my life I have struggled with feeling weak, and this season of being a mama to two littles (and feeling like some days there just isn’t enough of me to go around) is no exception. This isn’t a book to pep you up and tell you how strong you are when you’re feeling weak. It’s a book that points again and again and again to the strength of the God we lean on. And *that* is the message I need to remind myself of often.
