Dr. David Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries and senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, felt God’s calling on his life at a very early age. Born February 13, 1941 in Toledo, Ohio, Dr. Jeremiah was raised in a family deeply committed to ministry. At the age of eleven, Dr. Jeremiah and his family moved to Dayton, Ohio where his father, Dr. James T. Jeremiah, was the Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, and in 1953 became the President of Cedarville College in Cedarville, Ohio.


As Dr. Jeremiah was sensitive to God’s leading in his life, he followed in his father’s footsteps. In 1963, Dr. Jeremiah received a Bachelor of Arts from Cedarville College. In that same year, Dr. Jeremiah married his college sweetheart, Donna Thompson who also was attending Cedarville College as a business major. He went on to earn a Masters degree in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1967. He completed additional graduate work at Grace University and was granted the Doctor of Divinity degree from Cedarville College in 1981.



In 1969, Dr. Jeremiah began Blackhawk Baptist Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and developed a Christian school grades K through 12. In the 12 years he served as pastor, Blackhawk Baptist Church grew from 7 families to 1300 members. He also launched The Bible Hour television program.



Dr. Jeremiah heeded God’s call, and in 1981 he and his family moved to California where he became the senior pastor of Scott Memorial Baptist Church, now Shadow Mountain Community Church.



Shadow Mountain Community Church is one of the largest churches in San Diego County. It is also the home of Southern California Seminary and Christian Unified Schools.



As Dr. Jeremiah began his ministry at Shadow Mountain, he felt God’s calling to continue the broadcast ministry he started in Fort Wayne. In 1982, Turning Point Ministries became a reality.



Today, Turning Point's 30-minute radio program is heard nationally and internationally on over 1800 stations and translator/satellators. In recognition of Dr. Jeremiah’s commitment to teaching the Word of God, he received the Broadcaster of the Year Award in 1999 from the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), in August 2002, received the Award of Merit from the Western Chapter of National Religious Broadcasters for Excellence in Broadcasting and Faithfulness in Service, and in 2006 Turning Point received the Best Radio Teaching Program Award. Dr. Jeremiah has served on the Board of Directors for the NRB since 1996.



Turning Point launched a television program in 1982 in San Diego and went nationwide in 2000. Now seen around the world through cable and satellite technology, as well as on terrestrial stations all across the United States, conservative estimates suggest that close to 200 million homes around the world have access to Dr. Jeremiah's Bible teaching each week. Turning Point Television offers a half-hour Bible study message and a full hour worship service with the same great preaching. Carried on several national and international networks such as TBN, ION, and INSP, Turning Point Television has most recently been added to Middle East TV Network and BET, the Black Entertainment Network.



Dr. Jeremiah is a sought-after conference speaker for organizations around the country. He frequently speaks at Cedarville College, Dallas Theological Seminary, Moody Bible Institute, Billy Graham Training Center, Phil Waldrep’s Senior Adult Celebrations and numerous NFL, NBA and Baseball chapels.



Along with his speaking schedule around the country, Dr. Jeremiah also finds time to fulfill another passion in his life, writing. His books are always gripping and right to the point. Some of his books include Escape the Coming Night, The Power of Encouragement, What the Bible Says About Angels, Prayer The Great Adventure, which brought him The Gold Medallion Award in 1998, God In You, Gifts from God

I used this book to lead a small group discussion and the topics were very engaging, ranging from:

- How Can I Be Sure of My Salvation?
- How Can I Overcome Temptation?
- How Can I Get Victory Over Worry?
- How Can I Find Forgiveness?
- Is There Only One Way to God?
- Why Do Christians Have So Many Problems?
- Why Don't My Prayers Get Answered?
- Is There a Sin God Cannot Forgive?
- What is Faith?
- What is the Greatest Commandment?

So of these questions, such as topics on suffering, prayers, one path to God, and salvation, seemed common to Christian circles. Other's, like faith, Greatest Commandment, and temptation seemed like pretty general ideas that are floated in churches and Sunday School classes. Either way, each lesson generated great group conversations and sharing of experiences around each topic.

I appreciated the chapter length and that each chapter ended with a set of questions, as though this book was already framed in a way that people could use it for small group bible studies. David Jeremiah also provided an abundance of scripture to support his remarks on each topic.

Pros: great questions, and topics that are commonly discussed in Christian circles.
Cons: none really.
Bottom Line: this book was structured and written in a way to lead and encourage small group discussion.

This is an excellent book by one of today’s best Christtian authors.

The book takes the reader through 10 of the most commonly asked questions such as:

Can I be sure I am saved?
What is Faith?
Is there really only one way to God?
What is the greatest commandment?

And six other questions that will leave you feeling good about your faith and will tell you how to to be saved and know it. Even if you think you know the correct answer to the questions it is still very much worth reading. I learned so much from reading this book. I would like to get the DVD series that goes with the book. Of course, each question is a sermon from the series.

I highly recommend this book. You won’t be sorry.

This book is incredible and so filled with spiritual truth. I love the depth that Jeremiah takes into each question. I found it helpful to go through and highlight the passages in my Bible as I read. This book is key to a better understanding of Scriptures, and it is deeply rooted in the Scriptures. I recommend this to new Christians, old Christians, and nonbelievers. It will truly give you more wisdom.

This was a book we used in our Ladies Bible study class. It was very good. Some of it I knew so it didn't seem challenging, but it was interesting and most of the ladies enjoyed it.

This is a good book for those looking for a cursory answer to common questions about the Christian life. Even though I knew the biblical answers to the 10 questions covered, Dr. Jeremiah's insight made me think about some of answers in a way I hadn't previously.
