Don't Give Up: Faith that gives you the confidence to keep believing and the courage to keep going by Kyle Idleman
Our lives are minefields of challenges that take their toll on our courage, our conviction, and even our faith. But God whispers to the weary, Don't Give UP.
Drawing from a backdrop of Hebrews chapter 11 and personal testimonies of perseverance, this book will encourage you to cast your concerns on God, trust in His love and timing, pray for patience and strength, and seek out support in the family of God, the church.
Everyone needs encouragement, even those who don't think they do. Both soft and hard encouragements help us to persevere in faith all the way home.

Twelve Ordinary Men: How the Master shaped His disciples for greatness, and what He wants to do with you by John MacArthur
What is most amazing about the disciples is that Jesus ever selected them at all. When you take a fresh look at the disciples, you'll be faced with a stunning fact: They were ordinary, hopelessly human, remarkably unremarkable. But, they were available and obedient to the Master's call.
You'll walk in their shoes. You'll understand their doubts and hopes. And you'll hear the power of Jesus' words in a whole new way. If Christ can accomplish His purposes through the live of common men like these, imagine what He has in store for YOU!
