Jerry Beaver is the Pastor of Victory Baptist Church in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. He writes this book from his experience as a pastor, counselor, and a Christian who has had his share of valleys. This book is derived from these experiences and his burden to help people from God's Word. Jerry holds a Bachelors degree in Theology, and a M.A. Biblical Counseling.
This book was birthed out of a deep conviction that too many Christians fall during the valleys of life. This should not be the case, especially when we look at the promises from our Lord and Saviour. John 10:10 makes it clear, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." What a great promise to those who trust in the Lord, and follow His plan.
I really believe it grieves the heart of the Lord to see His children defeated and even destroyed in valleys, especially when He has allowed the valleys, and has a purpose for them in the makeup of our Christian lives. My prayer for this book is that it reveals to you God's plan and purpose for the valleys, and what our perspectives and responses should be in those valleys, and how to walk victorious in spite of all the burdens in this world. I pray this book will challenge our hearts to keep looking to the Lord, and stay in the valleys that God allowed us to walk through, and let them have their perfect work in our lives.
