About Dispatching GoliathDrawing inspiration from the story of David and Goliath, Dispatching Goliath offers a faith-based battle plan for facing the seemingly impossible challenges in your life. It reveals that the giants you face—be they fear, doubt, health challenges, or past circumstances—are not obstacles to be endured, but opportunities for a spectacular demonstration of God’s power. Like David, use the stones you’ve been given in the Word of God to gain a complete victory over the giants in your life.
In his book, Dispatching Goliath, Mike Bryant relays a lifetime of wisdom and offers biblically-based advice for dispatching the giants in your life.
