Stand Firm Endorsement #3 Chaplain (Col) Scott McChrystal

"Many people today, Christians included, have suffered knockout blows and can’t seem to get back on their feet. Some have quit even trying. Dr. Mark Flattery has a powerful message: Stand Firm. In his new book, Mark draws from the well of his own personal experiences and offers a biblical path to healing, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose. As a personal friend knowledgeable about Mark’s own 'knockout' blow, I’ve been an eyewitness to a man who faithfully followed Jesus through the valley of his pain, suffering and heartache and continues to model a life that shines for the Lord. Mark’s passion is to help others Stand Firm. This book will show you 'how.'"
