Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World

Dr. David Jeremiah is one of the best speakers and authors in the evangelical world. Through rightly dividing the Word of Truth, his messages and books help to steer the church in the right direction. , Dr. Jeremiah follows up on his book, "What on Earth Should we Do Now?"with Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World. Dr. Jeremiah does what many sermons and books have not, and that is both recognizing the quickly changing world in which we live, and reminding his readers that this comes as no surprise to God.

In ten chapters, Dr. Jeremiah tells Christians what their response should be to these changing times and how to live with confidence in this chaotic world. The book starts out by showing how to know the signs of change. If you didn't think the world was chaotic before picking up the book, the reader will certainly be freaked after reading the introduction. The response is to:
1. Stay Calm (In the face of chaos, God in in control)
2. Stay Compassionate (to other people, be Jesus to them for you're the only Jesus they may every see)
3. Stay Constructive (Continue to do the work God has called you to, don't give in to despair and do nothing)
4. Stay Challenged (and diligent so that you can have the life God wants you to have)
5. Stay Connected (To God's Body, the church)
6. Stay Centered (On Christ, be single minded to follow Him)
7. Stay Confident (That God is in control)
8. Stay Consistent (and don't be tossed around by every wave of doctrine)
9. Stay Committed (to your family, friends, and God)
10 Stay Convinced (of your faith)

All in all, Dr. Jeremiah speaks on very timely subjects with vivid illustrations and stories to help the reader to remember his points.
