How long has your Goliath dominated your days and pilfered your peace?Like David, you know well the presence of Goliath. Your Goliath doesn’t carry a sword or shield; he brandishes blades of unemployment, abandonment, or depression. Your giant doesn’t parade up and down ancient hills; he prances through your office, your bedroom, your classroom. He brings bills you can’t pay, addictions you can’t resist, a past you can’t shake, and a future you can’t face.How long has your Goliath stalked you? Invaded your first thought of the morning and last worry of the night?David knows a little something about facing giants. The shepherd boy seemingly had little to offer against the nine-foot, nine-inch Goliath. You could read his story and wonder what God saw in him. Throughout his life, David fell as often as he stood, stumbled as often as he conquered.But for those who know the threat of a Goliath, David gives this reminder:Focus on Giants—You Stumble.Focus on God—Your Giants Tumble.Are you ready to face your giant? Let David’s story inspire you. The same God who helped him will help you.

Yancey gently took away my blinders and blazed the trail through my own doubting fears, pious know-it-all, and critical balderdash until I saw the Savior anew and thought I heard him ask me, 'Now whom do you say that I am?' and I understood the question as I never had before."--Lewis B. Smedes, Senior Professor, Fuller Seminary"Philip Yancey takes the reader with him on his very personal journey to Jesus. In The Jesus I Never Knew, I became convinced that the Jesus I met--in some ways for the first time--has known me all along. This book is destined to become a favorite--to recommend to those still seeking Jesus and to pass along to those who've met him, but long to know him more."--Elisa Morgan, President Emerita, MOPS International
