In his new book, The Struggle Is Real: Maturing in Life and Ministry, Bishop Anthony Clark's compilation of spiritually provocative, biblically-sound sermons provide a wealth of encouragement and spiritual insight into the issues facing the Body of Christ and our society in general. This book is an excellent study guide for ministers and laymen alike. Each sermon offers practical and revelatory teaching in a manner that is methodical yet passionate. Bishop Clark's book brings to life the Scripture in 2 Peter 3:1-2: "This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour."
