    About this ebook

    Serve Strong helps volunteers as well as vocational Christian workers combat discouragement, persevere through weariness, and cultivate endurance for the long haul.Serve the Lord long enough and discouragement or some form of opposition is inevitable. Joy-sapping workloads, feelings of inadequacy, lack of fruitfulness, or battle fatigue from spiritual warfare often spurs God's servants to quit or sabotages their passion. The purpose of this book is to infuse them with biblical perspectives that buoy flagging spirits, boost motivation, and cultivate endurance.

    Terry Powell

    Thank you for your interest. I reside in New Jersey with my wife and three children and have a BS in Management from Rider University. I'm an ex-soldier who still keeps close ties with many friends who continue to serve. In order to feel connected, I tend to visualize my writing into a screen play of sorts, so as much as I like to include a bunch of detail in my stories, I dont necessarily believe that quantity always equals quality--page-count wise. Big books have always been alittle overwhelming to me, as they are to most casual readers, so my only goal in doing this is to keep the chapters relatively short to make the AVERAGE reader feel accomplished, throw some lessons learned in there to make you go "hmm", and a pinch of faith because as a man of faith, I can only hope that you'll open the Good Book in addition to one of mine anyday.
