In a fast-paced, technology-based era when drive-thrus, cell phones, laptops, and Internet banking are the norm, it's sometimes hard to fathom that God doesn't appreciate our frail attempts at spiritual shortcuts. Through the pastoral epistles, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, with insight from Paul's letter to Philemon as well, Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe illustrates that working for God's Kingdom requires tenacity, never-ceasing prayer, and protective battle gear that only God can provide.

We've all heard the phrase: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. What about faith? Will your faith thrive in tough times? Do you desire a more resolute faith? The book of Daniel relates the familiar Sunday School stories of the lions' den, the fiery furnace, and some remarkable prophecies, but take some time to investigate these stories more closely. How did Daniel, Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego possess such a fearless faith? Perhaps no one in the Bible possessed a more resolute faith in God than these individuals.

Once a year at Thanksgiving, we encounter Pilgrims as folksy people in funny hats before promptly forgetting them. In the centuries since America began, the Pilgrims have been relegated to folklore and children's stories, fairy-tale mascots for holiday parties and greeting cards. The true story of the Pilgrim fathers could not be more different.

Many people have the idea that if they could just somehow find that single planned direction, they would be effortlessly swept through life. But life is not like that. Probably the most misunderstood factor of discovering God's will is the thought that, If I do this, the struggles will end, the questions are over, the answers come, and I live happily ever after. But that's not reality. Does that mean that God's will must remain opaque to us—that we must muddle and grope blindly through life with no clue to what He wants for us? "Not at all," says Charles Swindoll.

I will fear no evil."

Many Christians believe we ought to ignore Satan and his army of demons. Others say we should be learning how to fight them and seek to engage them in battle. But what does the bible say? John MacArthur explores the origin of spiritual warfare, its present reality, and what a Christian's response should be. He also takes a detailed look at each piece of spiritual armor—which he points out is primarily defensive, not offensive, in nature. This book sounds the battle alarm without being alarmist and takes a balanced approach to spiritual warfare.
