Unleashing the Power to Defeat Our Personal Goliaths

Rob Marshall draws from personal experiences and from the life of David in this book of inspiration, practical tips, and sound advice. Taking lessons from the life of David, we learn about the characteristics of faith. We can begin to look for those same characteristics in our own lives as we face today's Goliaths.

Marshall puts it this way: "By learning what faith looks like, we will be able to examine our own faith in concrete ways. We will become aware of which characteristics are strong in our lives and which ones need work." These lessons help the reader establish goals and life dreams. In a natural progression from preparation to celebration, Marshall provides action steps at the end of each chapter to help you pursue your goals and dreams. Through examples drawn from business to politics Rob addresses the struggles common to all of us. These real life illustrations challenge the way we look at our faith and our abundance. Marshall is consistent in his premise.

Throughout our lives we face our own Goliaths. There will always be battles that test our faith. David's victory over Goliath reminds us that no matter where we find ourselves in life and no matter what limitations we think we have, nothing can stop us when God is with us. God is the one who is mapping our lives and perfecting our faith. "Taking on Goliath" provides practical steps to unleash the David in all of us. Rob Marshall exhibits a gift for writing refreshing, challenging, insights into spiritual truth and offers an approach to tackle the individual "Goliath's" we all come up against. I am looking forward to the next book in this "Faith-Full Life" series.
