It is my hope and prayer that this novel will be used in Bible colleges, seminaries, and Christian universities as an instructional tool to help prepare ministry students for spiritual battle, a topic often overlooked or underemphasized in many courses of study.


TWINSBURG, Ohio (PRWEB)

Author Deborah A. Burd provides readers with a fictional story about ministry experiences in From Battles to Victory: Standing Strong in Your Call ($21.99, paperback, 9781662873065; $9.99, e-book, 9781662873072).

Burd’s book provides a compelling fictional story intertwined with important Biblical strategies and practices to help equip people for ministry on a spiritual level to experience more victories in spiritual battles during their ministry assignments.

Inspired by the ministry experiences of a real pastoral couple, Burd’s fictional story follows the Hanson family’s ministry adventures. Pastor Steve along with his wife and their teenage children experience two ministry callings in the same county. During these encounters, they face incredible challenges and seemingly crushing defeats. Readers will see firsthand how these callings have the potential to be too much for the Hanson’s. Will these callings break them apart as a family or will they rise to the occasion and fight the spiritual battles they encounter together? Readers will want to keep reading to discover if Pastor Steve and his family can forgive those who wound them. As many Christians experience daily, will the Hanson family’s trust in God and dedication to their callings produce victorious outcomes?

When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Burd said, “It is my hope and prayer that this novel will be used in Bible colleges, seminaries, and Christian universities as an instructional tool to help prepare ministry students for spiritual battle, a topic often overlooked or underemphasized in many courses of study.”
