The Battle is the Lord's

One of the best books I have read about an individual taking God at His Word and walking it out in faith. The book is riviting from chapter to chapter as Owen Carr moves against impossible odds to see impossible results. This book will inspire the reader to follow God's leading when everything seems impossible, and to experience, that God does impossible things for those who believe Him.

This is the story of how God used a man of faith to bring Christian television to Chicago. The "impossible" (with man) dream became possible because of the miraculous interventions of God. The details are given in this account. The author tell us, "It was a God-given vision, and He would put the wheels in motion Himself."The balanced perspective his wife brought to the table is included. He describes her as being a pragmatist. We're told, "She became the economist of the family, the realist, the pragmatist. She didn't need to be a dreamer because she married one." He adds, "I was fifty-two years old, with no experience whatsoever in television." Carr tells us that a ministry born in faith and sustained in faith must progress in faith also.Writing further about faith, he says, "By faith we realize the dream, we accept the challenge, we shoulder the burden. By faith we reach beyond our own circle and grasp the impossible."
