Handbook for Hard Times

Are you comfortable with what is happening in the world now? Where is it all heading? Only God knows for sure, but much of the world is already hurting greatly, and wars and rumors of war proliferate. Jesus said that his followers would suffer persecution because of commitment to him. His true followers would be treated as he was.

Are you prepared should you be called on to suffer for Christ? Some periods of history have been more traumatic than others. Right now, Christians in broad swaths of the world are suffering greatly. These include China, North Korea, Afghanistan, Iran and many other parts of the Middle East, North Africa, Nigeria (the deadliest place for Christians now), India, Myanmar, and Malaysia. Many other areas are borderline hostile.

Considering Jesus’ words, Christians should expect to face various types of trials. Even in the United States the cultural landscape is shifting rapidly. Thus, Christians, should they decide to be faithful to Jesus and his teachings, must be prepared to face difficulties. The author is anticipating that the generation 15 to 25 years of age and younger needs to prepare for such eventualities. This book serves to prepare that generation for what they may face.

Also by this author is his autobiography God’s Extraordinary Grace available on Amazon in electronic and print media.
