Overcomers: 30 Stories of Triumph from the Bible

by David Ettinger

The Bible has never been more relevant than it is today. From the tragic fall from grace of Adam and Eve, to the heartbreaking loneliness of unloved Leah, to the failure-prone Peter, the weaknesses of the Bible’s personalities are laid bare for you to read, ponder, and learn from. Though the personalities of the Bible lived thousands of years ago, you can identify with them in a very intimate way. This devotional collection of Bible personalities will encourage you as you face the daily struggles of life and show you that, through God, you cannot only survive your struggles, but triumph over them!

Delve into the lives of the people of the Bible in ways you never imagined. Here is a probing, fascinating, and dramatic examination of Bible personalities that will impact, deepen, and strengthen your walk with God.

Born and raised in New York, I moved to New Mexico in 1979. I got married in 1980, earned my BA in English in 1981, became a father in 1983, earned my MA in English in 1985, got divorced in 1986, and gave my life to Jesus Christ that same year. I have been walking with the Lord ever since.

I began my journalism career in 1980, writing for The Roundup, the school paper of New Mexico State University. In 1981, I became a sportswriter for the Las Cruces (New Mexico) Sun-News, and eventually became an editor. I worked at the El Paso (Texas) Herald-Post as an editor/writer from 1987-1997. I worked at the El Paso Times in the same capacity from 1997-2001.

In 2001, I moved to Orlando, FL, where I was the writer/editor at The Holy Land Experience until 2005. I served as writer/editor at First Baptist Church of Orlando from 2005-2010.
