Overcoming: Encountering Jesus in the Gospel of John and Today

Rate this book
How can we overcome our pain, wounds and struggles in order to find hope, joy, peace and purpose? This book contains engaging, relevant, authentic stories about people who have overcome anger, eating disorders, unforgiveness, shame, bitterness, sexual sin, low self-esteem, divorce, alcohol and drug addiction, abuse, physical disabilities, and consuming guilt through healing prayer. These powerful, engaging prayer encounters will serve as a guide to show us how we can also overcome our hurts, habits and hang-ups. Dr. Matt Williams first explains the Gospel of John from a first century perspective, showing how Jesus encounters various people in his day, and then describes true prayer stories of university students. These stories are powerful. They invite us in and ask us to encounter Jesus as we listen to others’ experiences with Him. Just as Jesus spoke to and healed people in biblical times, he is still doing the same today through prayer. As you read these stories of encounters with Jesus, you can overcome the issues that you are facing in order to find the abundant life that Jesus offers, a life of peace, joy, forgiveness, hope, freedom, love, removal of shame, restoration, and purpose.
