God has developed a magnificent ministry in Edwin Louis Cole. He has ministered to me, drawing out of
me an intensity for Christianity that God has placed deep within me.

I was greatly touched by the life of Ed Cole, as were millions of men who never had the privilege of meeting him that I had. He was my friend. He was one of the "wise men" who enriched my life. I pray you will allow Strong Men in Tough Times to speak a "good word" into your life as well. Whatever you are facing today, lean into the truth of God’s Word and believe wholeheartedly that God will fulfill His promises to you.

Communication, Sex and Money by my friend Ed Cole shows men how to let the manhood the Lord has invested in them find its strength and operational effectiveness in the relationships of life. I know what this book will do for men. So read it and act on it!

Right now, instead of quitting, just turn the page, follow the practical, simple steps and start learning how not to quit. Make a decision to read this book when you’re down, and hold off other decisions. This means you might read this more than once. No matter what crisis you find yourself in—whether it’s the lowest low or the hugest opportunity—the following pages will help you meet it head-on. Read, because as I learned at Arco Arena, God really does have better days ahead for you—even when it doesn’t look like it.
