Moments of Decision by Vance Havner

Throughout our lifetimes we are continually compelled to make impor­tant decisions. To choose life partners, vocations, lifestyles, churches, and even friends, we often seek the advice of others. Vance Havner encourages us to look to the wisest counsel of all—the Bible.

In Moments of Decision, Havner presents sixteen revealing examples of choices, both good and bad, made in the Scriptures. He relates them practically and succinctly to the life-changing decisions that must be made today. With tremendous insight he shows how Lot's decision to live in Sodom lends advice for choosing apart from the corrupt influences of wealth; how Elijah's choice to challenge the prophets of Baal gives valuable direction for our choosing to stand against the false gospels of today; how Daniel's courageous decision against Nebuchadnezzar urges us to select the Lord's way despite the consequences; how Pilate's decision for Caesar over Christ provides us with the admonition to consider wisely the most important decision of all—to follow or to reject Christ.

Whether you are facing a momentous time of decision, or considering how you might make wise choices in your everyday life, you'll find Moments of Decision an inspiring guidebook that applies the valuable lessons of the Bible to decision-making today. Discover for yourself how to make the most important decisions of your lifetime.

Vance Havner (1901-1986) was a unique servant of God whose spoken ministry spanned over seventy years and whose written ministry extended to almost forty books. Michael Catt, Pastor of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia, says of him: "There was no one like Vance Havner. His preaching style was unique, powerful, and pointed. He was a master at turning a phrase, using humor to set up a point, and then driving the point home like a sharp, two-edged sword. Every Christian should read Vance Havner… If you love A. W. Tozer, you'll love Vance Havner. He was one of God's gifts to the church in the 20th century. His ministry and his preaching needs to be heard in the 21st century."
