Part Terry McMillan, part Jan Karon, author Vanessa Davis Griggs delivers the second book in her exciting Blessed Trinity Trilogy. When Pastor George Landris, the dreadlock-wearing minister of the new mega-church, Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center, urges his congregation to approach the altar and cast off their strongholds--also known as their weaknesses--it's the start of intense soul-searching for many. From a married couple's twin addictions to gambling and gluttony, to a female member's adulterous affair and a computer expert's obsession with cyber-porn, the church family is about to open the proverbial floodgates. And that's just the beginning. The plot only thickens when the Pastor's wife lightens his load by helping him counsel--and finds herself at the center of a decades-long deception. Insightful, witty, and always poignant, Griggs once again shows the amazing power of redemption and faith in people's lives. "Vanessa's rich stories of faith in action always hit the writing trifecta--they make you laugh, cry, and yearn for more. Her wonderfully realistic characters leap off the pages, compelling you to join them in one life-changing adventure after another." --Angela Benson, National Bestselling Author

God's mighty promises to us who abide in Christ have been mostly unfulfilled because of strongholds in our hearts. In this book we see that God created stability for the spiritual heart by making it very fearful of being changed. It naturally and unconsciously protects itself against perceived dangers - including God's work in the heart until it really learns that it can trust Him. It also deceives oneself. This has let the devil manipulate us out of most of our boundless power of staying in Christ. Here we see how experiences and demons can create highly protected strongholds that work against people receiving God's great love and power in Jesus. We also see how to destroy a stronghold in oneself and in others who want to be free. Destroying it includes a good preparation and good follow-up to Jesus' work of deliverance: all help the freedom to last. Therefore this book shows the nature of spiritual warfare, which comes with moving into God's mighty provisions for us in Christ.

God showed me by the Spirit, steps. And on these steps, every time there was a step, I looked down and I saw something written on the step. Then you take another step and there's another thing. So, these are steps and at the top is breaking. Breaking the stronghold. Sometimes I believe we have more of a stronghold on the stronghold than the stronghold has on us. Have you ever wanted to not let go? Some might have been a stuffy blanket. I'm talking about those things we just don't want to get rid of. You can recognize someone when they have an issue. When they get the answer no to the thing that is binding them. You'll find out how happy or upset you are when you lose something. So, the first step was breaking free. We say shouldn't that be the last step? Not really. Because sometimes reoccurring destructive bad habits lead to our demise. Unhealthy habits lead to destruction. It's unhealthy habits that lead to destruction. Would there be a guarantee in your life cycle that you have certain habits in your life?

When the Romans withdrew from Britain, the north of the country was ruled by the most mysterious of the ancient British races, the Picts. Much of what is known about these “painted” warriors, comes from the remains of the fortifications that they left scattered around Scotland. Although the Picts are famous as sea raiders, they were also subjected to attacks from a number of opponents. To their south, the Romano-British reoccupied the abandoned Roman fortifications and hired Saxon mercenaries to strike against the Picts. Meanwhile, from the west a new group, the Scoti, attacked from Ireland. This book covers the fortification of the ancient Picts in all their conflicts and discusses the importance of these sites as religious centres and seats of power, while using the latest archeological evidence to help unravel the mystery of this ancient race.
