"Consider It; Overcoming Fear in a World Under Its Rule," tells the victorious account of Lawrence, Susan, and Father Abraham. Lawrence saw the handiwork of God through a marriage that nearly fell apart. God turned his trial into triumph. Susan grew deep in her faith as one struggle upon another met her at the most passionate places in her heart. The father of faith, Abraham, rose to his destiny by never giving up on God's promise. Even when Abraham was unfaithful to God, God remained faithful. Newlywed, single or widowed, male and female alike, will appreciate the life of faith that unfolds in this story. Encouragement, wisdom, understanding, love, perseverance, faith for the miraculous are all part of the journey you will take as these two "lovers of God" lay out their testimonies and authentically share what it is they know could never have come to pass without their faith and a personal relationship with a loving and almighty God. "Consider It," will cause you to reconsider God's purpose in allowing hardship into your life. You will grow to see trials as an avenue to overcome fear, stress, and other difficulties, through faith. You will learn that God gives us what you need and who you need as He has made available for us, everything we need for life and godliness. Through His divine leadership you will come to know trouble as an opportunity for "pure joy." The definitions and questions at the end of each chapter give the reader time to reflect and consider their own faith journey. No one creates a story like the Creator of the Universe. His stories are outside the realm of this earthly world. A place where His power and love are at work through our personal faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. God can direct us in overcoming anything and everything that comes against us in this life, therefore, we have no reason to fear. Fear plays a significant role in our American culture, fueled by social, political and economic factors. But the Bible teaches a better word and people need to know it. The opposite of fear is not bravery. The opposite of fear is faith. God has not planned a life of fear for you. God has prepared for you an abundant life lived out by faith, the faith that He gives to you. Journey with the authors through the hurt, fear, betrayal, loss, and hope deferred, only to find their way to a life that far exceeds their wildest dreams. Uncover your own emotions as you imagine putting yourself in their shoes to consider, "What would I do if that were me?" Grow in a new mindset, a new paradigm to view the trials of life as a supernatural walk with God. Nothing is impossible when God is in it. Nothing.
