Passionate, Academic, Inspiring

Being reminded of the choice Christians of earlier generations were forced to make between renouncing their faith or giving up their lives put fuel on the fire inside. Unfortunately, Christians today in some nations, primarily Muslim, still face these decisions. With religious freedom continually being a stewardship requiring attention, this book reminds you of the sober task of deligently praying for persecuted believers. In writing about the death of her brother Charlie, Janet lets us in on part of her "examined life." These are the situations where what a person really believes comes out. She writes, "Tough faith is the only answer when no easy answers are at hand. Faith that is tried, tested, and true. Faith that lets you stare death right in the face." She doesn't end there, but closes the thought by focusing on what we can control in a helpless situation, "We cannot always choose the difficulties we will face in this life, but we can certainly choose how we will respond to them." This is a book about reality, a book for overcomers who face challenges head on. Faith will be tested by fire. These writers remind us of those whose faith came out of that fire like gold, precious gold, more solid than anything in this material world.

Tough Truth

Once again the Parshall's have laid the truth out on the line for the world to see. Tough Faith is an outstanding apologetic for our time and a must read for every student and Pastor.The book has 3 sections - Doctrine & Deception - is the first section with a punch. This chapter begins by describing how mankind fell to arrogance when the Titanic sank. Using many illustrations from the sinking of the Titanic the authors draw a clear picture of life in today's world. There is good discussion on the scientific method, mysticism and technologies.You will also read about the clear difference between secular humanism versus biblical Christianity. An excellent argument is given to Christians that we must engage the culture with our minds, and not merely our heart.Discussion on the rise of cults follows and the destructive damage that these ideas have on people. The Parshall's boldly expose the Gay agenda, the Jesus Seminar and histories skeptics and challenge the reader to examine closely their doctrine with Scripture.Part 2 of the book deals with the Persecution of the Pious - and this is an excellent section that will not only strengthen your faith but educate you as to those who have died so willingly and passionately for the name of Christ. You will read about Perpetua, Patrick Hamilton, George Wishart and others who had the tough faith to endure true persecution. The history in this section of the book is outstanding and worthy to be read. You will also read about the Parshall's own experiences in this area.Section 3 deals with how we can live righteously in our ruined culture. The challenge to live your life faithfully and without shame is given, but not without many practical principles straight out of Scripture. Every person of faith who engages the culture will want to especially read this section.In a nutshell, this book proclaims that if you say you are a Christian and a follower of Christ Jesus then act like it! Do not merely be a hearer of the Word, but be a doer as well.

Tough Faith - Trusting God In Troubled Times

This book cuts through the heart like a searing iron. There can be no such thing as a lukewarm christian in the coming millennium. Janet and Craig challenge us to examine our willingness to sacrifice everything for our God and Country in a time in this land that is akin to the final days of Babylon. They give us a practical manifesto for daily living and a challenge to actively participate in our nation's recovery. May God, in his grace, grant this nation a repentant heart.

Christian's Required Reading List

The Parshall's new book Tough Faith should be declared "required reading" for all who name the name of Christ as their Savior. Outstanding, factual presentation of the way things really are, not the way we wish they would be. Read on!

Being Christian in Post-Christian America

If you have read Josh McDowell's "The New Tolerance" or Daniel Lapin's "America's Real War" (both are excellent books, by the way) then you might be prepared for the chilling picture the authors' paint of what life might be like for Christians in the next millenium. But then again, maybe not. I, like so many other Americans, was "asleep" during the past 40 years while our courts were secularizing our country by blatantly misconstruing the Constitution, and I had no idea how far down the hill we had slid. This book projects forward the ramifications of that secularization. May it serve as a wake-up call to us all.
