Product Information

There are some books, though very few, that remain ‘evergreen’―that through the years remain as useful and challenging as the day they were written. I am so weary of the peculiar therapeutic atmosphere in which we live today that is scared stiff to tell anybody to do anything or to warn anybody of dangerous consequences of failing to take responsibility for his or her life.

I felt as if I was being poured into by one of My faith mentors and I am encouraged to continue growing in those disciplines in which I fall short.great book for any and every Christian man wanting to serve His God-the practice of godliness-work and discipline-no easy way to success in anything and that holds good in the spiritual/moral realm.
