This book is excellent and a big help in thinking through these important issues. The extra resources outlined at the end provide even more to explore. So, so much to consider and how critical that we prayerfully do so.

Standing Firm
This book is an excellent resource especially during this period of uncertainty in our world. I found information that I did not know and it is useful in how I relate to individuals that are not of a Christian faith, whether they be atheists, Muslims, Buddhists or any other faith or religion, especially with those who may want to persecute Christians and Americans, or other nationalities for that matter. This is a book that you just cannot hurriedly read or skim through. It is information that needs to be digested and thoroughly thought through. A great read for any Christian.
