Your Sword & Prayer is always the first place to begin your journey. This is a good place to begin in understanding: What are true family values? How to get involved with mission work? How to keep the faith fresh? How to protect yourself from temptation? How to overcome a drug addiction? How to drop a tobacco habit? How to stop an alcohol dependency? How to repair a broken home? How to find your life partner? How to overcome grief? How to cope with loneliness? How to earn employment? When to know if you are ready for marriage? How to understand prayer discipline? How to prepare for law school? How to land that great career? Who your friends really are? How a Christian has fun? How to avoid temptation? If you are once saved are you saved always? Can a woman minister in church? What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Is an interracial relationship against God’s plan? What truly happens after death? What does God think of tattoos or body piercing? Is baptism required in order for me to be saved? Is it okay to have sex before marriage? What does the Bible say about divorce and remarriage? If you commit suicide, can you still go to heaven? The Bible answers all life’s questions and I will do my best to provide scriptures to the most questions asked. But that will be later in the book and my main focus is to encourage you to draw your Sword, open the word of God and read His answer to your every question. Again, do not bend His words to fit your lifestyle. Conform your lifestyle to His word and be obedient. Obedience to His word answers all of the questions just asked… The Sword is the word of God scribed by his chosen apostles and prophets that laid out His plan according to what He wants. People have always tried to take a piece of His word or a part of a scripture or ignore some scripture so it can be molded and formed to fit the lifestyle they want to have. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way and if you were completely honest you would admit that this truth! When you are completely in His word you are safely in His hands. When you begin to pick and choose then you step off the Holy path onto a path with holes...

About the Book
In today’s multicultural atmosphere, Christians struggle to hold steadfast to the Word of God. Doubt, sin, and false teachers beckon at every turn and do their best to derail our faith. Therefore, Christians need to don the armor of God and yield His sword. Rich in theological history and filled with hope, The Sword and Shield reveals how Christians must embrace God’s word and stand firm in the belief of His eternal promise. Using his extensive theological knowledge, John W. Edwards III shares his personal journey of faith and demonstrates how today’s Christian crusaders must remain diligent against Satan’s relentless attacks. Edwards examines the lives of several biblical leaders, including Moses, Daniel, David, and Paul, to show how they anchored believers to God’s holy message. He then discusses ways in which Christians can wield the sword of truth by knowing God’s message, living within the character of Christ, and preparing to be tested each day. In this way, Christians can apply their knowledge and discern between God’s truth and Satan’s lies. We are not measured to man, but measured to God’s word. Find your truth within God’s word and prepare to draw your sword!
