Victory in the Wilderness: Understanding God's Season of Preparation

The christian walk is comparable to driving on a clearly marked highway with lanes and infomation and ease and joy of travel. When God takes you off road to toughen you up...like a father watching His baby walk on its own, You easily can jump to false assumptions. John Bevere expertly encourages the reader not to question God's intention. The chains of dispair will fall off. Oh, you'll still be in the desert, but the joy of knowing where will hit you. This book is a Mega-blessing!

This book was a priceless tool during one of the greatest battles in my life. I knew God was taking me to another level and the fight was intense. I learned through this book that in many regards my focus was wrong -- my expectation and anticipation were placed in the wrong place. I bought the book several years ago and read pieces of it. But I picked it up a few weeks ago and plowed through it like a blow torch. The revelation . . .AWESOME! The practicality . . . LIFE CHANGING! I often wanted to just call Mr. Bevere up and thank him for helping me become who God wanted me to be. Be blessed and bless others with this wonderful piece of writing.

This book really brought me closer to God and understanding why we go through those times of hardship. John Bevere has such a unique way of presenting the truth to God's children. After I read this book, I prayed for God to mold me and make me into the vessel He desires for me to be. Watch out though, because very shortly after that prayer, I was molded in such a way that I never expected! God answers prayers. Seriously, this was a book I couldn't put down!

Wow! What can I say? God really touched my heart through this book. He showed me that the wilderness was a time of refining and preparing. He also showed me that I can victory in these dry times, which were really times to prepare me for the Call! Praise Him! I HIGHLY recommend this book, and ALL of John Bevere's other books and videos!

If you or someone you know are in a dry time in your walk with the Lord, this book is for you. God used this book to radically change my perspective on where God is and what He is up to when it "feels" like He is a million miles away. As a pastor, I have given many copies away. Each time, those I gave it to bought copies for friends and passed it along.
