Publisher's Synopsis
The Consistent Overcomer speaks directly and convincingly to our hearts and minds and challenges us to say "yes" to a victorious life in Christ. In this inspiring sequel to The Renewed Mind, Christian counselor and psychotherapist Dr. Frans M. J. Brandt, shows us exactly how to become a Consistent Overcomer. Step-by-step, and in plain language, the author carefully explains how to embrace a constructive lifestyle, spiritual discernment and a triumphant life. "This excellent book contains several encouraging references to some well-known overcomers, but I also find Dr. Brandt's own personal story an exciting and inspiring highlight. The author is a living example of what it takes to overcome obstacles and to carve out a fulfilling and victorious life through the judicious application of faith and reason." - Randy L. Carlson, President, Family Life Radio/Family Life Communications Inc. "Dr. Brandt has again produced an extremely helpful book. It's filled with solid advice and proven Biblical principles. The power of the illustrations and personal life experiences of people who are known overcomers, provide the incentive to make the connection between knowledge and action. Taking the action step is what leads people out of their defeat into victory. A very helpful, sound book." - Jay Kessler, President, Taylor University "The Consistent Overcomer is Dr. Brandt's best work yet. The excerpt from his childhood in the Netherlands is spellbinding and allows the reader into some of the early difficulties in his life. It warms the heart and gives much encouragement. His assertions about the direct link between emotional health and sound nutrition are also consistently seen in my own work. Without a doubt, physical health care must go hand-in-hand with emotional and spiritual health care in order to have lasting happiness and maximum wellness." - Jill Rene MacDougall, Nutritional Consultant, Healing Integrity, Inc. "In The Consistent Overcomer; Dr. Brandt has developed a well-laid-out road map for those seeking to live the victorious Christian life. His step-by-step methodology makes it simple for lay persons to clearly understand the precepts at the first reading, yet, paradoxically, those same clearly defined instructions dictate that his work be read and re-read until the precepts are totally ingrained in memory and in daily living. Herein is found living proof that it is possible, and even essential, to joyfully face life's trials." - Marilyn Taylor, Staff Member, Women Today, Inc. Dr. Frans M. J.
