How To Win Great Victories In Desperate Times
Britain has become a great spiritual battleground where the Christian identity of this nation is under attack on many fronts.

For all the challenges we face, we should never be discouraged. For as both the Bible and revival history shows us, it is in times...

Even after the king went mad, he called on his remarkable skill as a politician to make sure that, when his extraordinary luck came to his assistance once more, he could take full advantage of it. ...
