An Ever-Present Faith: Navigating the Challenges of Our Time

By J. Douglas Childers

The Peace in any society comes when the spirituality of its people has a watermark that indicates a level of hope and isn’t darkened by aggression or limited spiritual growth by its people. In America, the dawning of the twenty-first century presented more than exciting innovations. It also brought aggressive attacks on the lives of innocent people. Events from the 1960s matched these attacks, but if we are created Imago Dei, in the image of God, it should be our purpose to live out our faith as a people of love in harmony with one another. This book of sermons seeks to inspire hope and to renew a sense of inspiration to readers. “An Ever Present Faith is a must read for believers of the gospel. Dr. Childers makes us aware of today’s technological advancements, dependence on gadgets, and need for continued faith. In this masterpiece, he exemplifies his expertise as a prolific writer, preacher, and modern day prophet.” —Reverend Matt Murphy
