Will Christians go through the Tribulation? What will life be like in the New Earth? Dr. Shiwnandan couldn’t just stop there.
He could, but there was too much to be said, too much knowledge to pass on to the younger generation.
Overcoming the Strongman was his follow-up publication, released in 2019. His second book takes into consideration the physiological and psychological dimensions as also being important in determining one’s perspective which is vital in overcoming the Strongman.
