Moody – The Overcoming Life

Back Cover

Christ promised us a life characterized by overcoming. Yet many of us miss out on the victorious life Christ won for us because we are trapped in guilt and shame, immobilized by fear, or stuck in old patterns of thinking.

This classic work from legendary Bible teacher and evangelist Dwight L. Moody shows you how you can have confidence in Christ's call on your life, and thus overcome the trials of this world to experience the full joy of the Lord, both in this life and the next.

D. L. Moody writes, “It is like this. When a man enters the army, he is a member of the army the moment he enlists; he is just as much a member as a man who has been in the army ten or twenty years. But enlisting is one thing, and participating in a battle another.”

Originally published in 1894, The Overcoming Life is one of those little books you just have to read. It is quintessential D.L. Moody. Its blunt edge drives hard at the ways in which Christians are overcome in this life (spiritual warfare, sin, distraction, etc.) and then gives ample assistance as to how we might begin to live a life in Christ that overcomes the things that once took hold of us.
