LONGWOOD, FL�"Life can change in a heartbeat. Just ask 30-year-old Alan Jameson. His adoptive father’s unexpected death and a multimillion-dollar inheritance have brought him back to Ralston, California, the city he left twelve years ago. During the visitation at the mortuary, Alan meets the lovely Danielle Roberts and sees her as an object for conquest. The day after the funeral ends in tragedy when an accident in the park seriously injures Alan, and only Danielle�"a devout Christian�"is able to save his life. Both Alan and Danielle have built walls around their emotional pain. Will they find the healing they need or will they each build higher walls around their pain? Find out in Weakness Unto Strength�"a Novel of Redemption ($16.99, paperback, 978-1-61379-373-2; $26.99, hardcover, 978-1-61379-374-9; $8.49, eBook, 978-1-61379-418-0), a page-turning new book from Xulon Press author John Stout, Jr., which will help readers find a true relationship with Jesus Christ.

�?"I would like believing readers to grow in faith and to know that their greatest joy comes from being fully surrendered to Christ,” the author says. �?"I also hope to encourage believers to articulate their experiences with God in their own words. I pray there is also an audience among people who are not yet believers.”

In 1995, Stout was invited for the first time to share his music at a church other than his home congregation, and soon he was receiving invitations from other churches. He suddenly found himself in a role for which he was not prepared�"that of informal counselor. �?"The demand for ‘counseling’ soon rivaled the demand for music,” the author says. �?"I saw the need for a more comprehensive message, and this novel is the result.”
