About the Book
Even as a faithful Christian, there may be times when you feel that there is no hope of escaping issues and themes in your life that ensnare and trip you up time and time again. When a certain pattern of behavior or type of suffering has been following you all your life, it’s hard to believe that you can ever escape from it. Christians with Pervasive Issues shows us that every child of God can be delivered from issues that cause them to be a victim, rather than walking in victory. In compassionate, no-nonsense language, Annie Brown demonstrates that with genuine repentance, using God’s principles, and the right counseling/support, you can overcome anything. Christians with Pervasive Issues gives you the ray of hope you need in order to heal your life, and get closer to God.

Book Excerpt
A Remedy to Get to the Root of the Problem
WHAT IS NEEDED is that the people of God “must” clean out their secret compartments and confess that they need the Lord to deliver them. Confession is made unto salvation (deliverance). If we confess our faults, the Lord is faithful in forgiving us. You may ask, “Why do I have to confess if I was not responsible for what happened to me?”
The issue then becomes whether you have forgiven the person that caused me this harm. If there is no forgiveness, then you become a victim twice: a victim of circumstance, and a victim of bondage. This can be in some ways more dangerous than cancer. This will always be eating away at you. With cancer, at least you know what is going on in your body. Being a victim of circumstance and having an unforgiving heart bring torment. This torment becomes a part of you in such a way that it eats through your mind, destroys your inner peace, and puts your soul in jeopardy because it becomes a heart matter of sin.

Love this review. I will check out this book and will try to have it placed in our local library. Thank you!
Getting the library to offer the book is a great way to read it and make it available for others. I like the way you think Cynthia. I haven’t visited our local library in years.
Thanks, Wanda, for another one to add to my reading list. There is no such thing as too much tending to the “roots” in our life.
If you’re like me the reading list just keeps growing and growing.
Hi Wanda! How nice of you to do the review, and then host a give-away too! That’s fun 🙂
How important it is to get out of the things that weigh us down. I know for myself it’s so much easier to connect with God’s grace when I’m not worried about failings.
Blessings to you!

Hi Ceil, the giveaway was actually a part of the author’s book tour. Hope you have a great rest of the week.
Thanks for offering this awesome giveaway Wanda! This book sounds so inspirational. I have some entries in but I was having problems with the Facebook link. I am now following your blog in several ways. Enjoy the rest of your week.
Hi Judy, did you get some kind of error message with the Facebook link? Great to have you connect. I look forward to getting to know you more. Hope the rest of your week is a great one.
Thanks for your response Wanda. When I click the word here it is not taking me to the Facebook Page. Is that what should happen?
No that’s not what should happen Judy. I appreciate you letting me know. I have contacted the tour host to let them know this information is missing. It should have a FB page address. I’ll let you know when I hear back from them. Again thanks for telling me!
Just wanted to follow up as I said I would. The host has removed the FB option.
Having been in ministry with Dick for nearly 40 years we have seen first hand how pervasive issues can be. Sounds like a useful resource. Thanks for the info!
Pam that’s wonderful that the two of you have been serving in ministry for almost 40 years.
Good review.
