Stand Firm Endorsement #2 Rev Donna Barrett

"When life takes you in a very different direction than you could have ever imagined, Stand Firm: What to Do When Life Knocks You Down lets you look over the shoulder of Dr. Mark Flattery for a no-nonsense, biblically based, practical view of what to do and how to respond in the midst of painful difficulties.  This book presents a 'roadmap,' to help the reader to become aware of their end goal, and the step by step process to stay Biblically grounded amidst the whirling surprises, pain and incremental victories.   I want to thank Dr. Flattery for his transparency to share his story and practical help for the rest of us on the journey."
