The difficulties and trials of life can be overwhelming at times. Family, financial difficulties, job, and health problems can undermine our confidence while making life troublesome. The Apostle Paul continually warned the Galatian Christians not to become "weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not . . . I desire that ye faint not" (Romans 2:7; Galatians 6:9; II Thess. 3:13).

| Story Behind the Book & DVD
The author, Bob Spurlin, is a disabled 61-year-old man, who preached and served in churches of Christ for thirty years before contracting the crippling disease of multiple sclerosis. Four days after Mayo Clinic made this stunning diagnosis their daughter, Bethany Ann, lost her life in an automobile accident one month before her 17th birthday. Following the grief and becoming adjusted to a bedridden existence several concerned Christians’ encouraged Bob to start writing. In time the local newspaper began publishing his weekly pieces on the slipping morals of society and other issues facing the community; other articles for Christian publications followed this. As a novice it took him time becoming convincing to a computer, which would make his writing easier. Bob’s wife and son needed to introduce him to the computer showing him the simplest tasks. With each passing day he became more adjusted to the various features of the computer, which made his writing easier. Brother Paul Sain, book publisher, encouraged the writing on the general theme, "Don’t Ever Give-Up." This is the third book written by this disabled gospel preacher. The outpouring of concern and interest in the books written have humbled the Spurlin family. Paul is a good friend of the Spurlin family and through the book sales a special "medical fund" was established at their bank. |
