From Despondence to Deliverance 
Toni M. Babcock

In anxious times, it’s helpful to learn from the example of the saints of old. How did they deal with fear and anxiety? By reading many of the Psalms in the Old Testament we catch a glimpse. Take Psalm 13 for example. King David begins on a doleful, despairing note, and ends up on a triumphant note. Four practices are employed to achieve this: trust, joy, thankfulness, and praise.

The psalm reads: “How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long will I store up anxious concerns within me, agony in my mind every day? How long will my enemy dominate me? Consider me and answer; LORD my God. Restore brightness to my eyes; otherwise I will sleep in death. My enemy will say, “I have triumphed over him,” and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken. But I have trusted in your faithful love; my heart will rejoice in your deliverance. I will sing to the LORD because he has treated me generously.” (Psalm 13 CSB).

David rose above his faulty feelings—his greatest concern being his enemies would rejoice over him and his God if he didn’t. Perhaps he remembered it was faith that gave him the courage to stand against Goliath in the valley of Elah and say, “Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?” (1 Samuel 17:26b CSB).

How do we respond when threatened by our ‘giants’? Like David, let’s respond by exalting God. Let’s be a testimony to His saving grace. Satan wants the world to see us disheartened, defeated, and depressed, even when we’ve been given all the tools we need to overcome. Will we rise above our faulty feelings, which in essence defy the living God? Will we instead employ the tools of trust, joy, thankfulness and praise?

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
