Bryan and his wife, Donna, have seven children and six grandchildren. Bryan likes to say that he is first and foremost a Christian. He was saved on his twenty-seventh birthday, and has sought the Lordas guidance ever since. Bryan is active in the ministry of his local church. Through Godas guidance, Bryan was led to establish a technology company in the Midwest. This company grew quickly and led to the establishment of even more prosperous companies. Bryan was on a roll and living the American dream, when suddenly, he saw everything he had worked so hard for threatened and jeopardized by a never-ending onslaught that seemed to be out of his control. It was through these monumental trials that Bryan re-connected with his God, and God began the process of revealing great Biblical truths to him, truths that helped him through the fire. This is the story of how God rescued a man who thought that he could do it all himself, and how a loving God gently brought a distant son back into His home. This is the story of a loving Father who used the trials of the present circumstance to re-establish His love for His child and demonstrate great truths throughout the process. The teachings are presented so that others who may be going through their own personal hardships and struggles may benefit from the lessons and timeless insights into the mind of God while showing what is truly of value in this life.

Everyone experiences times of sadness, trials, and pain. But what happens when grief and depression seem so overwhelming that we feel like giving up? As the founder of World Challenge, Inc., David Wilkerson worked with troubled people of every type: students, parents, alcoholics, delinquents, businessmen, pastors, teachers, and drug addicts. In this hopeful and encouraging book, Wilkerson examines the universal problem of discouragement. He shows readers how to let God heal their wounds, restore their faith, and give them genuine, lasting peace.

"A long and happy marriage." It sounds like the end of a fairy tale--an illusion that modern times have exposed. And it is, if marriage depends on a constant stream of romantic emotion, or even on copious amounts of time or money. Thank the Lord, none of those are necessary. Two thousand years ago, Paul gave women the key to a successful marriage, and it can be summed up in two words: unconditional respect. It's not popular. It doesn't sound fair. It can be hard to imagine. But it works. Nina Roesner has led countless women through this practical and life-changing journey, and in The Respect Dare she offers you the hope that so many others have found. Day by day, true stories and thought-provoking questions will help you apply biblical wisdom to the most important relationship in your life. The book is filled with stories of struggle and success, and many practical applications of respect that have dramatically impacted marriages. Give it forty days. Experience the intimacy God intended and discover what he can do in your heart and in your marriage when you choose to show respect his way.

This book reminds the believer, the non-believer, the saint and the sinner that anytime we give up on God, we give up on His promises of peace. It is in the midst of life's trials and tribulations that we are awakened to the unmistakable truth that God forges the best parts of our lives in the furnace of difficulties and hardships. Sadly, this generation knows little, if anything about what happened at Azusa street, the First, Second or Third Great Awakenings, the 1904-1905 Welsh Revival, the Can Ridge Revival, nor do they recognize the names of Jonathan Edwards, Dwight L. Moody, Charles H. Spurgeon or Billy Sunday. We know nothing about prayer, or the affects that prayer has had on this nation for the past 232 years. Writer and philosopher George Santayana sums it best when he said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes. Those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it".
