Facing Goliath: How a Man Overcomes His Giants to Follow Christ

by J.P. Jones, Kenny Luck (Foreword)

Overcome giants and experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.

When it comes to their spiritual journey, many men feel defeated. Hindered by 'giants' they stand motionless feeling like wimps instead of warriors. Whether they feel intimidated, unmotivated, or just downright out of touch with what it means to pursue a relationship with God, Facing Goliath offers help to every man who wants to overcome his giants and experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. Addressing topics like intellectual doubt, fear, pride, and selfishness, men will find practical steps to discovering the answers to questions, of faith, salvation, and spiritual growth. This discipleship game plan will help men learn Christian essentials in a way that appeals to those who are seeking what it means to be a follower of Jesus and those who have already found Jesus and want to grow.

The author of the book is engaging and has some really good points. Mr. Jones is a pastor and a former football player and draws a lot of analogies from these parts of his life, not being a pastor or former football player there were times when I didn't feel connected to the writer but I had no problem understanding the point he was trying to make. I read this as part of a men's bible study group and the conversations around what was in the book were often eyeopening for me. The book centers around the battle between David and Goliath and uses that story to illustrate how we can defeat the giants (anger, lust, doubt, fear, etc.) that we face each day. One of the things that stood out most to me was when we see the adult David and his failures with lust is that the story around Bathsheba starts with David sending his men out to wage war while he took a break from the fight. Jones points out that we should always be in the fight, something very easy to forget; I've occasionally found myself in morally compromising situations because, you know, I'm alright, I'm not as bad as some, I'm not in a fight... yeah dude, you are.

In practical, revealing, and humorous ways Pastor JP Jones gets to the heart of the matter at what keeps many guys sidelined in their faith. Yet, Pastor JP doesn't just diagnos the problem but shows how the Bible lays out a clear strategy to face these Goliath's head on in the power of Jesus Christ.
