Last Man Standing: Jesus and the fight for a generation - Softcover

The greatest battle that the men and families of the church face in the new century is the knockdown drag-out fight with Satan for the next generation. This is the story of my journey, as well as the story of many other families and children whose lives have been impacted by a simple truth. We are to be imitators of God, as dearly loved children, and our God is a Father to the fatherless. He places the lonely in families. From the favelas of Brazil, to Washington DC, we share one conviction in common: the church of Christ is the "Last man standing" between the children and the plans of Satan. - Michael John Meyers
