Against the Grain

About the Book

While the church is headed for purpose, destiny and dollars, the world is heading for moral collapse.  Jesus commanded the church to enter in at the straight gate, for wide is the gate that leadeth to destruction and narrow is the way that leadeth to eternal life. Jesus declared that few be there that find it.  He makes it clear that few will actually travel the road against the grain.

This book was written for the sole purpose to encourage believers to keep the faith without compromise.  As you turn through the pages of this book you will be challenged to repent, confess and ask God to guide your steps as you travel the road of life.  You will also be encouraged to know that God still supports His Holy plan.  This book cuts across value systems and the need to be tolerant.   So, take your time and meditate through each chapter honestly and allow God to speak to your heart.
