Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience and Faith When Giving Up Isn't an Option Paperback – August 29, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
Whether by choice or circumstances out of our control, we will have moments where we feel like we've been punched out, dragged down, or knocked out. What do we do in those situations? You must learn to persevere.
Perseverance requires a deep sense of hope, and thought leader, pastor, and podcaster, Bianca Juárez Olthoff, knows that personally. But it's not just any hope. It's a hope firmly rooted in something other than mere wishes and finger-crossing. This is a hope we have in our future that is rooted in the One who can go beyond our wildest dream to accomplish more than we could ever imagine. However, we must be willing to do the work of cultivating grit throughout every circumstance.
Using the life of Paul the Apostle as a case study, Bianca shows how grit was the genesis of his transformation from a judgmental Pharisee to a world-changing follower of Jesus. In Grit Don't Quit, Bianca will help you:
- Identify how to cultivate perseverance
- Discover the cost and benefit of resilience
- Develop a theological framework for rebounding from loss
- Understand how grit can change your life
- Apply practical principles to increase emotional, mental, and spiritual strength
If we can prove to ourselves that the true power is getting back up, we can prove to others that success isn't only for the smart, talented, or well-connected. No matter how many times we fall, our real power comes from when we get back up. Get up, live full, and die empty.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2025Grit Don’t Quit is an absolute gem for anyone who has ever felt like giving up. This book doesn’t just inspire—it equips you with the tools to develop resilience and deepen your faith when life’s challenges feel overwhelming.
The author’s heartfelt stories and practical wisdom create a perfect blend of encouragement and actionable advice. Each chapter feels like a pep talk from a trusted mentor, reminding you that quitting isn’t an option when your purpose is God-ordained. I especially appreciated the focus on the interplay between faith and resilience, showing how spiritual growth can be the foundation for enduring life’s toughest seasons.
What sets this book apart is its relatability. The real-life examples, Bible-based principles, and honest acknowledgment of struggles make it clear that the author has walked this journey themselves. Whether you’re facing personal setbacks, professional roadblocks, or spiritual droughts, this book is a light in the darkness.
By the end, you’ll not only feel encouraged—you’ll feel empowered. If you’re looking for a book that will challenge you, uplift you, and help you build the kind of grit that glorifies God, Grit Don’t Quit is an absolute must-read!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2024A much needed book in this season! Keeps it real & encouraging, and has a strong Biblical foundation. Thank you, Pastor B!!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2023I didn’t know how badly I needed this book. I’m not a quitter, but this book validated life’s hurdles and encouraged me during life’s gritty moments. Hearing personal stories of Bianca’s successes and failures supported by Scripture and science it is not only thorough, but philosophical. Well written. Well researched. A great book to be read by everyone who goes through hurdles in life (aka everyone). A great read for teenagers through adulthood. Will be buying for friends and family as gifts.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2023This book came at just the right time. A lot of change is coming up and it feels so overwhelming, I want to find a quiet place to hole up and ignore it all. Instead, with humor and honesty, personal stories and Scripture, Bianca walks through how we can all have grit and come through any situation life throws us into. She shares tips and suggestions to encourage and guide you through your own season of uncertainty, with research and her own personal experiences woven in. This is a book everyone needs - even if you think you don’t.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023This book is so good. Funny, real, practical and encouraging book.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2024We read this book and watched the video with the women's group group at church. I liked it because everyone could relate to some aspect of the book. It led to great discussions and some new relationships.
I would recommend it to anyone going through difficulties and searching for direction as to how to hang on.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2024The book came a little damaged I believe to be from the delivery itself.
Otherwise the book itself is great so far. I bought it after attending on of Bianca’s teachings. The book is engaging and reads the way she talks which is what makes it different from any other regular read! Some Spanglish in it that I love as a Spanish speaker but she explains it all so even if you don’t speak Spanish it’s still a good read!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2024Great read for a reading club and spiritual growth

Thank you Bianca!
