Publisher's Summary:

Withstanding the Storm is an inspiring story about overcoming the inconsistency and luke-warmness of heart many Christians experience. Author Nathan Lambshead reaches out to those who are not being reached in church, using his own experiences and shortcomings to convey the story of God's grace and mercy. Rather than preaching at the listener, Nathan presents his faith in a testimonial form. Spoken in a simple, easy-to-understand style, Withstanding the Storm will challenge and encourage you to grow and make a consistent commitment to the Lord.

a heartening yet challenging examination

Building your spiritual home...do you do so with sticks and mud or brick and mortar? Do you do so on a weak foundation of sand or a solid base of rock? Nathan Lambshead's book, "Withstanding the Storm" explains how he is building his, wall by wall.

The subtitle of this book is "Becoming the Christian You Were Meant to Be." It is basically a letter from Nathan, describing his struggles to do just that and offering guidance for Christians to follow. Unlike many other books on religion, it does not condemn other beliefs, nor try to sway non-Christians. Its target audience is already Christian...those seeking to build a spiritual home in the soul.

Nathan's foundation is not really rock, but the word of God. His walls are not brick but are Thanksgiving, Worship, Grace and Tithe. His roof is Fellowship. His guidance to readers comes through telling his story and recognizing that some church goers are just going to church, not learning to build their spiritual home through the lessons learned there. There is a difference in being thankful for happiness and being thankful for the lessons gone through to get to happiness. There is a difference in worshipping God and worshipping the church or pastor. There are actual examples from life in this book, a testimonial of Nathan's spiritual house building.

The tone is light and friendly, as a real letter would be. The sequence of unfolding his tale and lessons learned is perfectly laid out. Nathan gets his point across and has written an enjoyable piece. He sees how some might be feeling while sitting in the pew, because he may have felt that same way, and he reaches out in understanding. "Withstanding the Storm" is a heartening yet challenging examination of what might be going on in a reader's own life. Well done.

A little gem of a book.

A little gem of a book. "Withstanding the Storm" is a very quick and easy read, but really goes straight to the heart of matters that affect your spiritual walk. The book helps you to move past being an ineffective Christian by building your foundation on the Rock. Storms can and will come, plenty of them, as we walk this narrow path. Some storms are stronger than others, and the practical suggestions in this book helps build your faith so that even the greatest of storms won't knock you down. I truly believe that we Christians in America will soon be facing tough times. Times of real persecution. Will we be able to look someone in the face and say "Yes, I am a Christian!" even when it means possible ridicule, jail, torture, or even death? We all wonder what we would do in a trial like that.
