Overcomer: 8 Ways to Live a Life of Unstoppable Strength, Unmovable Faith, and Unbelievable Power

I started this book a while ago, but the reason it's taken so long to read is because there is so much helpful information in every chapter, that I needed time to process it. After reading a couple of chapters, I actually went back and started again, just reading a chunk at a time as part of my devotions. \\n\\nThe book starts with the example of King David as a Biblical example of an overcomer. The next eight chapters then cover 8 issues in which we can be overcomers: overcoming weakness with strength, falsehood with truth, evil with good, anxiety with peace, fear with faith, confusion with wisdom, temptation with scripture and everything with prayer. The final chapter looks at how we can lead a meaningful life through the resurrection power that comes from Christ. \\n\\nAlthough the author of course gives scriptures and talks about Biblical principles, I especially liked all the true stories and anecdotes used to illustrate points. According to the acknowledgements section, there are over 100 of these. Those stories really brought it to life, so I never felt I was reading a theological treatise. It's a lot easier to identify with the real stories of others, who have the same weaknesses as us. It's a book I think I could dip back into again and again, and I would like to get hold of the study guide.
