To the Temporary Residents in a Time of Coronavirus, Seeking an Eternal Weight of Glory: Reflections on Faith and Permanence in a World in Crisis

"I see a dam. It is golden and glistening, like a great solid gate in a canyon. It holds back the floodwaters. It converts them into power. This is my prayer:Lord, cause the flood of the enemy to cease. Hold it back. Stop it in its tracks. And convert the surge into power. The power of love, of gospel, of the Spirit of God." This short book is my offering to my brothers and sisters in Christ in a time of unusual crisis-a reminder of who we are and what truly matters, based on the themes of 1 Peter.
