Olet ehkä joutunut jo niin musertaviin olosuhteisiin, että ihmettelet, onko mitenkään mahdollista koota kaikkia palasia yhteen. Ja ehkä et voikaan sitä tehdä. Mutta Jumala voi - ja hyvä uutinen on se, että hän tahtoo koota elämäsi sirpaleet sellaiseksi kokonaisuudeksi, jonka vain murtunut voi tuntea ja tietää.” Tri Stanleyn tulkinta siitä, miten Jumala käyttää elämämme murtumista tuodakseen siunauksen, on dynaaminen voima, joka auttaa meitä hyväksymään kohtaamamme koetukset ja kärsimyksen, ja ymmärtämään sen, että tulikokeen läpikäytyämme elämässämme tulee esiin kultaa.” -Barbara Johnson - Spatula Ministries”Kuunneltuani Charles Stanleyn opetusta yli kaksikymmentäviisi vuotta, voin rehellisesti sanoa, että hänen opetussarjansa murtumisesta on vaikuttanut elämääni enemmän kuin kaikki hänen muu korviini tullut opetuksensa.” -James Reimann - toimittaja.

Defeat the devil every time he attacks. Many people today believe the devil does not exist. They think he is merely an ancient myth or a metaphor to explain the presence of evil in our world. However, the Bible clearly teaches that Satan is very real—and that he will stop at nothing to bring about our destruction. That’s the bad news…But as Dr. Charles Stanley explains in Overcoming the Enemy, the good news is that Jesus Christ has already defeated the devil—utterly, permanently, and irrevocably. While this does not mean we will never be confronted with his evil, we have the promise that in Christ we will always have the victory over him. With over 1 million copies sold, the Charles F.
