The Necessity of an Enemy
By Ron Carpenter

Discover Why Enemies May Be A Stepping Stone to Success

In The Necessity of an Enemy (WaterBrook Press, January 17, 2011) author Ron Carpenter offers insight into facing and overcoming adversity, and how the process can actually be a critical step in fulfilling our God-given purpose in life.  

Just like killing Goliath transformed David from a boy into a man, enemies can turn out to be a blessing in disguise – but only when we recognize, acknowledge and face them head-on.

Carpenter explains how enemies – whether our own insecurities, negative perceptions, wrong thinking or an external obstacle, can:

• Facilitate tests that build strength

• Expose weaknesses needing correction

• Turn lethargy and staleness into energized creativity

• Reveal clues of God-given life purpose

The Necessity of an Enemy gives insight into how an “enemy” can be a blessing in disguise.  As the pastor of a biracial church in the deep south, Carpenter seeks to heal divisions and develop a spirit of unity within his church.
