When fear takes hold we can feel powerless and insipid. Lifes spiritual battles become too much and the devil seems to be winning. It does not have to be like this though! We can, and do, have victory in Christ. Faith in the allpowerful One means that we are strong in him, even when we feel weak.

Jonathan Stephen writes with clarity and compassion to help us understand how the battle against the enemy can truly be won. He uses one of the bestknown and most dramatic incidents in the Gospels, the stilling of the storm. As he draws our attention to what Jesus is teaching through this faithtraining exercise we join the disciples in discovering that when we are buffeted and frightened by the storms of life we can not only endure, but overcome.
