Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standing for God is about taking a stand for God when every odd says not to. Written from a Christian’s perspective and by someone who has experienced this dilemma for many years, this book aims to explain different facets of this issue and encourages its readers to take a stronger stand for the truth. If people don’t take a stand for truth, bad things usually happen. The results of not taking a stand can come in the ways of sufferings for the innocent, losses, and even death. A teacher who winks at the sight of her students copying answers from other students is not doing those students any good service. A witness who decides to avoid taking a stand for truth could easily send the wrong person to jail or even death while the guilty person goes free to commit more crimes. The odds against God, righteousness, and truth are numerous these days, but those who elect to stick with them are said to be the inheritors of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:10-12). If the truth is lost, what shall the righteous do? This book is divided into seven distinct chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the topic and explains the preliminary issues and terminologies to set the stage for the rest of the book. Chapter 2 discusses the different ways of standing for the truth and God’s principles. Chapter 3 looks at the important topic of standing for God for those who are in leadership. Chapter 4 discusses how to stand for God in families, schools, workplaces, and society. The unpopular topic about standing for God in difficult times is discussed in chapter 5. The unsung benefits of standing for God are discussed in chapter 6. Chapter 7 is included to help those who want to be born again to understand how to do so.
