Fear is a giant that shouts at us from the battle lines of our
lives--a giant adorned in seemingly impenetrable armor. But God has
given us supernatural weapons that even fear cannot outrun. Sharing
stories from her own life and others', author and speaker Krissy
Nelson uncovers a powerful truth: As children of God we are made to
live fearlessly. Concealed within the familiar story of David and
Goliath are three supernatural weapons David used to slay the giant
of fear. These weapons are hidden in plain sight for us to
discover--and also to learn to use, because what God gave David, he
also gives us. Nelson dives into Scripture and explores how to
position yourself to see fear for what it is: a giant that dares
defy the army of the living God. It is time to run boldly toward
freedom. You are equipped for battle, and you are not alone--God
will fight for you!

We are living in a day when countless multitudes have lost their way both morally and
spiritually. Like a ship without anchor, this last day's generation is being tossed to and
fro by a flood of deception and wrong influences that is tragically causing people to
lose their moorings. What should we do to make sure we don't get sucked in to the
chaotic swirl of moral and spiritual confusion sweeping the world today? That is the
vital question prolific author and Greek scholar Rick Renner answers in this riveting
and timely book.
For a generation, the Catholic Church in Brazil has enjoyed
international renown as one of the most progressive social forces
in Latin America. The Church's creation of Christian Base
Communities (CEBs), groups of Catholics who learn to read the Bible
as a call for social justice, has been widely hailed. Still, in
recent years it has become increasingly clear that the CEBs are
lagging far behind the explosive growth of Brazil's two other major
national religious movements--Pentacostalism and Afro-Brazilian
"Umbanda."
On the basis of his extensive fieldwork in Rio di Janeiro,
including detailed life histories of women, blacks, youths, and the
marginal poor, John Burdick offers the first in-depth explanation
of why the radical Catholic Church is losing, and Pentecostalism
and "Umbanda" winning, the battle for souls in urban Brazil.
