When the world around you has turned its back on God, can you still effec-tively live for Him? Western civilization is standing at a crossroad, and God is beckoning His people to do as the prophet Jeremiah did.

To follow God when it hurts. To stand up and speak the truths of His Word. To weep and pray for the lost world around you. And to influence the culture for Christ.

In the prophet's day-a time much like our own-public life was increasingly dominated by pagan ideas and practices. Jeremiah's courage, passion, preaching, even his sufferings, show us how to live for God in today's difficult times. In the story of his life and ministry you'll find down-to-earth help and fresh examples on how to live, think, and feel in a godless culture, plus abundant encourage-ment to proclaim the truth of God's Word-regardless of the cost. Your stand may lead to opposition, hostility, and even persecution, as it did for Jeremiah. But God promises that in the end the victory will be yours as you glorify Him with your courage and your devotion.
