After enduring years of depression due to problems in his career, author James David Parker found answers through Bible study, prayer and introspection. He realized he wasn't the only one who faced depression and decided to start a program in his church for others. In an effort to reach an even larger audience, Parker wrote his new book, 'The Fire Will Not Consume You-Isaiah 43:2b: A Journal of Prayer-A Search for God' (published by Inspiring Voices). Parker provides a powerful message of Christian spirituality that unlocks the awesome power of God to guide our lives.
