Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oftentimes our focus is on the struggle we face fighting against temptations, seductive spirits that call us into sinful activity. But it is not until we have a committed and determined attitude toward fulfilling to trust God that we embrace the great challenges of faith. Beat Away the Buzzards speaks to the reality that we face many challenges when striving to walk in obedience to God. As the father of the faithful, Abraham leaves a great inheritance for his children of faith to follow. As the fowls begin to devour the sacrifice, he offers in obedience to God. He doesn't sit by and allow it to happen but begin to fight for his blessing. This title of Beat Away the Buzzards has lifted my faith as I face many challenges in life. In particular in 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans where I have pastored for since 1991. Our church building was totally destroyed, yet the church family is committed in rebuilding and minister to the hearts of people in this community. We have been beating away buzzards of depression, hopeless, discouragement among others, yet we fight on. (All proceeds from this book will be donated to the Jerusalem Church family, who is still building their edifice after the destruction of Hurricane Katrina that happened in 2005 in New Orleans, Louisiana.)
