In a season on constant turmoil politically, financially, relationally, and even spiritually, many are asking significant questions.  Utilizing sound Scriptural support, Dr. David Jeremiah provides ten clear steps for followers of Christ to embrace during these days of uncertainty.

1. Stay Calm
2. Stay Compassionate
3. Stay Constructive
4. Stay Challenged
5. Stay Connected
6. Stay Centered
7. Stay Confident
8. Stay Consistent
9. Stay Committed
10. Stay Convinced

The hope of this book is rooted in the reality that all things are working toward a climax – the return of Christ.   The church must not panic during these days but respond with Christ’s message of hope.

Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World was an interesting read.  I was encouraged by the rich connection with each of the author’s main points and Scripture.  I found the use of illustrations powerful.  They were appropriate, engaging, and most importantly, most of the illustrations were from recent headlines.

This book was inspirational and serves as a great reminder of the role of the church in our culture.  The challenge is rooted in applying these principles to life.  It’s one thing to write about them but another thing entirely to live them.

My only negative critique of the book centers around my struggle to remain attentive throughout each chapter.  Dr. Jeremiah is an excellent writer and preacher, I felt like each chapter was written more like a sermon manuscript.  This is a great structure to utilize when writing, however, there were parts that struggled to keep my attention.

I give Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World four out of five bookmarks.  I strongly recommend this book to anyone who desires to be used by God in the midst of a chaotic culture.  I am even considering utilizing the small-group material that accompanies this book in our church.
