Do You Have What It Takes to Weather the Storm?

Nearly 2.6 million jobs were lost during 2008, causing home foreclosures to reach crisis levels reminiscent of the Depression era. The economic aftershocks left many scrambling to findany job that will enable them to make ends meet. The jobless and underemployed millions are quickly discovering if they have the fortitude to weather this storm on their own. Dr. James Merritt, pastor, author and well respected leader knows firsthand that life often hits you with body shots. He knows that when it may seem easier to sit down, step aside or slip away, you have a choice to make—will you remain standing?

In Still Standing, Merritt’s latest book, he reveals eight winning strategies that will help you face tough times head on. As he shares the guiding principles and winning strategies displayed by people who stood firm in their faith, you will be encouraged to deal with challenges as they arise and find victory in the midst of adversity. He reminds you that the One who hasnever lost a battle will fight alongside you and gives His strength and guidance when you need it the most.

Through the stories of well-known Biblical champions, men and women who came face-to-face with life altering challenges, you will see the outcomes of standing strong. Merritt offers insight from the lives of people such as:

fall scents for your home
  • Joseph, who illustrates how to respond when you get what you don’t deserve
  • Daniel, who inspires you to stand for what’s right when no one else does or will
  • Esther, who emboldens you to place the well-being of others above your own comfort and security

Merritt makes it clear that God never says that you will escape life’s difficulties. Rather, He promises and proves throughout the Bible that when tough times come, as they inevitably will, He will fight with you. And when the dust settles, regardless of the outcome, you can still stand.
