Umbrella in the Storm Book Cover

The storms of life rain down on everyone...

Regardless of gender, race, financial status or religious background—sooner or later everyone will weather some type of storm. Yours might be a tropical depression, a cloud of illness, a tsunami of grief, a cyclone of unforgiveness or other disaster. On a daily basis life’s challenges threaten to leave behind a destructive path of lost hope, unfulfilled dreams, and unanswered prayers.

The Bible warns: “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows” (John 16:33). When the clouds roll in, the skies darken and the wind gusts, where do you run for shelter?

Fortunately, you can hold onto Jesus as your umbrella of protection!

Discover how to claim the promises of God, tap into the power of praise, hear His still small voice, move forward in faith, and experience His grace. Learn to overcome adversity.

Despite the forecast, you are destined to be victorious!

Through biblical insight, practical advice and personal testimonies, this book will encourage you to batten down the hatches and fill your cupboards with the spiritual supplies necessary to ride out any storm.

Learn to dance in the rain. A rainbow is on the horizon!

*230 pages; includes discussion questions for study groups.

Steadfast Movie Project

A powerful evangelizing tool with an inspirational soundtrack, this coming of age feature film tackles relevant, hard-hitting issues such as bullying, cutting, eating disorders, depression, substance abuse and more. Directed to youth and parents alike, Steadfast highlights how to be strong through life's trials and temptations.

Study guides based on the movie will be available for both teens and parents, as well as a resource video with clips and music from the movie, along with real life testimonies relating to nine different topics. An inspirational soundtrack is a part of this project too. Steadfast has been subtitled in Japanese and with Spanish to be completed soon for even further outreach opportunities.

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised for those who love Him.  (James 1:12 ESV)

MOVIE REVIEWS

CFDb (Christian Film Database)

Who needs this Jesus guy? A question asked in this film, and one that may get asked throughout the life of a Christian and even more likely to be asked of the youth in our society.

There are many very good points made in this film for a teenager struggling in their faith with peer pressure and temptations.

As stated in the synopsis of this film, there is a wide covering of the various trials and temptations faced amongst those in our current society. But sometimes it can be a huge struggle for Christian children and teenagers who are absorbed in todays culture of ungodliness. Those who have Faith learn that there is strength to overcome it all in God.

THE DOVE FOUNDATION

"Faith-Friendly 12+" and "Family-Approved 12+"

"Steadfast" does a great job in making a statement: bullying is not acceptable!.... This thought provoking film features a lot of teen angst and the various problems they face. It also makes clear that their battles are not only natural, but spiritual as well. The ending is filled with promise and hope.
