What do you do when the devotion you built stops producing the results it used to produce? When prayer feels like talking to the ceiling? When worship doesn't fix what's broken? When God goes quiet and the season stretches longer than you ever expected?
From Devotion to Perseverance was written for that moment - and for every moment after it.
Elder Joseph H. Oliver, Jr., Associate Minister at Emmanuel Temple Pentecostal Church in Boston, Massachusetts, draws from 26 years of faithful ministry to guide believers through one of the most difficult transitions in the Christian life: from the mountain of devotion to the valley of testing. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and the hard-won wisdom of a life spent leading others while privately wrestling with the same questions they carry, Elder Oliver addresses the silence of God, unanswered prayer, creative dryness in ministry, community in suffering, honest lament, small faithfulness, and the either-way faith that sustains when everything else fails.
This is not a book that promises easy answers or quick breakthroughs. It is a book that sits with you in the hard season and tells you the truth: the faith being tested in you right now is more valuable than the faith that was never tested at all. And the devotion that perseveres through this - that devotion endures.
