Overcoming the World: grace to win the daily battle

I’m a great admirer of Joel Beeke, and have been since I heard him speak in NI several years ago. Earlier this year he told me he has a passion for writing, and that certainly is evident from his books. I’ve found him immensely readable, and always stimulating, practical and challenging. I’m in the middle of reading this book, and it has certainly challenged me to be more holy.
If you think part four is only for pastors, think again. It might be aimed at pastors, but you will gain an insight into the pastoral ministry that will enable you to pray more intelligently for our pastor and others who serve in ministry. And if you teach in Sunday School, or lead in the youth work, or are involved in any aspect of ministry then you will also be helped directly from this section. We all need grace to win the daily battle, so this book will be a challenge and encouragement to “press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14).
