Fear Not(With: Dave Jackson)

Description

FEAR NOT Devotionals for times like these! We live in difficult times! And yet . . . throughout history people of faith have endured tragic circumstances and even martyrdom with extraordinary courage and heroic faith. How? Why? What can we learn from them to face the everyday hardships in our own lives--and even greater storms yet to come? These devotionals look back to help us move forward by meditating on . . . - 215 stories of men and women through the ages who lived--and many who died--for Christ. - Stories that show us the importance of being thoroughly Christian in the decisions and choices we make, the lifestyles we choose, the priorities we set, the way we handle our relationships. - Stories of sacrificial love for enemies, which has more power to storm the gates of hell than revenge, violence, hate, or weapons of destruction. - Stories that give us reason to persevere, to be faithful to the One who poured out his own life for our redemption, to do what is right . . . no matter how frightening the consequences. - Plus . . . Six essays on the major eras of church expansion and the accompanying persecution to help put today's challenges in perspective. FEAR NOT was previously published in a different format and without some stories by Tyndale House Publishers as The Complete Book of Christian Heroes.
