We all struggle with anxiety at various points in life, some of us more than others. In fact, some 40 million Americans are treated for anxiety disorders each year. Anxiety is a real and present threat. And for some of us, anxiety is a crippling condition. It strikes us down physically and spiritually. We feel isolated, weak, and hopeless. But there is hope. When we see our anxiety in the context of our relationship with God, we can learn more about how he is using it to shape us. Rather than spending all of our time, energy, and resources trying to eliminate this alleged "weakness," we can accept the truth that anxiety is a mighty tool in the hands of God. Through it, he will do more in us that we thought possible. In the weakness of anxiety, God gives us his strength. In Struck Down but Not Destroyed, you will learn how to Turn your greatest enemy (anxiety) into your greatest asset; Be confident in the spiritual purpose for your anxiety and suffering; Inspect your own habits and behaviors in light of Scripture; Accept your anxiety as a spiritual tool in the hands of God. It's time for us to focus on the spiritual purposes God has for our anxiety. It's time for us to realize God's strength in our weakness. It's time for us to revel in the amazing truth that the best part of being struck down is realizing that we will never be destroyed, not with God on our side.

The Bible tells us God is good, yet how can we still believe when our lives are falling apart? Dr. Pritchard helps us search the Scriptures for hope and encouragement and invokes the comfort of our heavenly Father during hard times.

This autobiography Struck Down, but Not Destroyed is a vintage narrative of a struggling African American man who is committed to make something out of himself -- without blaming America for his problems along the way. This is a story of a hard working, courageous man of faith who persisted, at times against great odds, to affirm that even life in the rural South or the Northern ghetto can have integrity. This is an unpretentious attempt to celebrate small victories for those who are often in this world considered the least of these. These many unheralded stalwarts of faith have made solid contributions; and yet have survived numerous close calls! The sixteen chapters with helpful descriptive captions unfold in the chronological sequence of Brother McCasters life events against the background, doubts, and scares of his extended family and others associated with him. One cannot miss Reverend McCasters uncanny and profound sense of joy as it resounds throughout this exceptional testimony about the rewards for those who persist in the faith of our humble yet most inspiring forebears.
