Develop meaningful, joy-filled relationships through a life of virtue.


Attentive to the challenges faced by young people today—online dating, social media, and more—Gift and Grit: How Heroic Virtue Can Change Your Life and Relationships presents the insights that Andrew and Sarah Swafford (the author of Emotional Virtue: A Guide to Drama-Free Relationships) have learned about fostering authentic relationships, answering life’s deepest questions, and remaining committed to a relationship with God from more than fifteen years of ministry to college students.

Beginning with stories of how God has personally transformed their own hearts and using the interactions they have had with the young adults to whom they minister, the Swaffords approach those who desire a truly meaningful life with a message of faith, hope, transformation, and joy.


This valuable book presents real-life advice on:

  • Fostering good and faithful friendships, with both men and women
  • Pursuing fulfilling and holy romantic relationships
  • Navigating past wounds and how to move forward to find healing
  • Achieving the greatness that every person desires
  • Bridging the gap between today’s world and the spiritual life
  • Living life to the fullest as God intended

To those facing universal human struggles with isolation, insecurity, and sadness, Gift and Grit inspires a deeper look at the healing, forgiveness, and transformation we desperately desire in our lives and in our relationships.

With discussion questions, Gift and Grit is perfect for small groups and book clubs to grow together in faith.


“Gift and Grit is an excellent and practical guide to receiving the happiness, meaning, and truth that most profoundly echo in every human heart. Andrew and Sarah gift the reader with refreshing, honest, vulnerable, and timeless wisdom that can be applied in your life today. You will read this book and ponder your own heart as you experience the fire of desire to live your life running toward the Lord, bringing as many people with you as you can.”

– Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT


“It’s like I’m in the room with them. We are around the table, living life and talking about what matters. Anyone who has spent any time with the marvelous Andrew and Sarah will immediately recognize that this work is a continuation of the real-life conversations they have all the time with college students, young adults, or friends of all kinds. Their real-life voices come through the book brilliantly, clearly, with all the joy and life-is-messy down-to-earth faithfulness they are known for. Priceless!”

Must read for young adults!

This book is a must read for young adults in their late teens or early 20's. In a world full of temptations and conformity, this book teaches the importance of holiness and the beauty of building a relationship with God; as well as, serves as an invitation to seek pure and meaningful relationships with others who help bring us closer to the Lord. This would make the perfect gift for any young adult!

A book that gets it and calls you higher in all the ways you've been looking for!

This is a book about the true path to finding freedom, meaning, friendship, and happiness in today's world. The Swaffords have taken their years of experience seeing inside the hearts of people and helping them navigate this life, and written it down for all to hear; with a relevant wisdom and raw honesty that you can't find in many other places.
After reading it, you'll have several people in your life that you'll want to share it with!
As their introduction says, this won't always be easy...but it will be worth it.

Storytelling and Formation Collide

Sarah and Dr. Swafford create an authentic path for formation and spiritual accompaniment to come together in a very compelling way. And that is through sharing their lives with others, inviting those they accompany to hear their stories and write their own. And to create their own stories built on truth, beauty, and goodness - because the Swafford's witness of faith is an honest journey in pursuit of the same truth, beauty, and goodness.

A must-read for Catholic young adults beginning to live a Christian life!

This book is like sitting in Dr. Swafford's office or at Sarah's kitchen table! They truly have SO MUCH wisdom to share about living a life of faith as a young adult Catholic, especially in college. They give simple but deeply profound advice on relationships, prayer, & friendships. You don't want to miss this read! Read this for yourself or use as a companion for your mentorship of young adults beginning to live a life of virtue and holiness.

Human Formation Bible

Gift and Grit should be required reading for every young adult; it makes the perfect graduation gift! The Swaffords expertly apply Aquinas, JPII, and other Church fathers to daily life experiences in relatable stories and examples. Their heart for ministry is evident in the way they authentically share their mission. Looking for ideas on how to form and foster authentic friendship? Read this book. Struggling to discern what to do next in life? Read this book. We especially appreciate their terming and description of the virtue of “supernatural grit”…a gift we should all strive to live and share!
