God Never Quits What do you do when life tumbles in-when all that you've counted on is stripped away and you ask, "Why, God . . . why me?" After almost forty years of pastoral ministry, Dr. Jensen was charged with a crime he didn't commit. After two trials, conviction, prison, and probation, he lost almost everything that he had counted on: wealth, friends, reputation, credentials, etc. It appeared his ministry was over. During this time Paul's letter to the Philippians became an outline for his own experience, and what God has taught him.Most importantly, the theme, God Never Quits-"He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion" is really a challenge to each of us, especially as we go through some dark times.Coming from most people, "God never quits" might sound hollow-but not from Vern. He has endured things that would crush most people, and he has come out on the other side with a faith that has actually gotten stronger. We all go through hard times and when we do, most of us tend to wonder, "Why me?" We ask why God is letting us hurt in this way, or why He seems so far away. As you read Vern's story, it becomes clear very quickly that he is not like most people. Faced with hard times, Vern very quickly shifts his thoughts from "why me" to "Lord, what are you trying to teach me?" This book isn't just an account of what happened in Vern's life: it is a reminder of what God can do through each of us if we let him.

So many Christians struggle through life, without the power or direction to make it exciting and fulfilling. But Jesus said, "Anyone who believes in me will do the same works that I do, and even greater works than these because I am going to the Father" (John 14:12). Even greater works than Jesus But how? We don't seem to have enough power just to get through the next day. Why are we so powerless? How can we have the same power that Jesus had? Is that possible today?The answer is simple. Just as Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit and remained in close relationship with his Father, so are we to be filled with that same power. We need that close, intimate relationship with God that was the heartbeat of Jesus. Jesus spent time in prayer again and again, and so must we, if we are to live power-filled lives. This book has fifty-two power-filled chapters of scripture and reflection-one for every week. One cannot spend time reading and listening to his Word, without responding. In that response, life is transformed from powerlessness into a life filled with power.

At that time, the church had about four hundred people attending, but has grown to serve more than fifteen thousand people in multiple campuses. God's power has clearly been poured out on this congregation. Jensen has a Ph.D. in counseling, and provides leadership for support and prayer ministries in his church.
