You may be in crisis as you think about reading this book. Many who follow Christ, or who want to, have a hard time surviving life as they know it. They want answers to "Why?" and "How long?" and are asking questions about pain, sickness, rejection, lost love, and the darkness and shadows plaguing them. Does God have an answer to the battle of life? "SURVIVING" is the beginning word of every chapter of this book. If you want to know what the Bible says about surviving brokenness, slander, the uncertainties of life, evil, death, and the end times, here are some answers! What about surviving troubled people, a troubled past, troubled times, or even a troubled church? God has an answer. Can God help you with family, or crises of faith? (Even Jesus had trouble with his family). How about failed love? Does God still love you when you fail? People carry a lot of guilt about these things. Here is a balanced, biblical and positive approach from a pastor's heart. One of these chapters may be God's answer for your crisis right now. Some of the issues may be difficult to face, but those who have survived have found that God is faithful. Life is a battle, but do not fear or be troubed, for the battle is God's (2 Chronicles 20:15). About the author: Rev. Dr. Charles Jackson has been a pastor for more than 40 years. He and his wife, Dorothy, live in Peterborough, Ontario. They have two adult children, three grandchildren, and two grand dogs. This second volume, The Battle - Surviving the Crisis of Life, follows The Burden - Leadership with a Cross at the Center (2010). It is hoped that a third volume, The Blessing - Winners from Beginning to End, will complete the trilogy.

It is a story of hope that surprises and inspires; a testimony to the strength God offers in our supreme weakness."--Christina Crook"This book was a fantastic read.

Called to be an Apostle: The Life and Ministry of Michael ScantleburyOur home was always packed with young people and we did enjoy times of really wonderful fellowship! Although we were experiencing these wonderful times of fellowship my appetite and desire to grow in the things of God continued unabated. I continued to read anything and everything that I could put my hands on that would strengthen my life. I began reading Wigglesworth, Moody, Finney, Idahosa, Lake, and the list went on and on! But the more I read the more this question burned in my heart-"Why is it that every time we hear/read about a move of God, it is always miles away and in another country? Why can't I experience some of the things that I am reading about?" Little did I know the Lord would answer that desire...

In our modern day names are assigned to a newborn baby at random-either due to the popularity of a name, or to honour someone as a namesake-during Bible times the name given to a child stood for much and had a prominence about it that the names of individuals no longer carry. In this context, it is vitally important that as we study the Word of God and the meanings of His Names. Some people (even Born-Again Believers) only have a very surface-level/superficial concept of who God is. To some He is just Where/Who you go to when you need something and for others He is just a vague peace in a troubled world. But in reality He is so much more! Let me say this to you: If you are a Born-Again Believer, everything that defines each one of us is influenced by our perception of God. Let me hasten to say that outside of the Word of God and prayer we cannot effectively cooperate with the Nature of God and outside of this it is impossible to know the real Lord and God as He desires to be known. We must always be seeking to interact with God at a higher level. Fully seeking to know Him more intimately and in His entirety in order to become more like Him! Thereby giving us the ability to better express His Nature and represent His Kingdom much more effectively in the earth! This is done by the study of His Names. How awesome it would be when we encounter God's Nature through the varied expressions of His Names. His Names give us reference and guidance as to how He works towards and in us as His people - and by extension to society! As a matter of fact it adds a whole new meaning to how you draw near to Him; and by this you can now begin to know His Ways because you have come into relationship with His Nature!
