Books by Pastor/Physicist Bishop J.O. Lawson
Pastor J.O. Lawson offers this unique Bible Study to encourage believers to apply the same biblical principles that worked for the ancient heroes of the faith. More than ever, the church needs the basics to strenghen our walk of faith in these modern times. Believers need not 'muddle through somehow'. We can Strive, Survive, and Thrive while fighting the 'good fight of faith.' "
"Is the Abundant Living message as presented to many Christians and the world today a reality, or a trick of Satan to confuse and cause some to err? Do Christians who do not enjoy Abundant Living somehow suffer from a lack of faith and commitment to obeying God's word? J. O. Lawson in his book, Is 'Abundant Living' for Every Christian?, examines these questions to provide clearer answers that are logically consistent, faith based, and Biblically supported. This book should prove to be quite informative, provocative, and spiritually stimulating for all who are seeking a clearer understanding of God's truths."
