With this message I outgrew my own history. Review by Philippa

Through a complicated upbringing of mental persecution, I became a non person living under the radar so that I never drew attention to myself. I never tried anything new. I was the mouse in the corner.

I heard Graham give this message live. It touched the fear in me. I got the CD to give to a friend, except that I had no friends. I must have listened to it several times a week for months and months. I lost my timidity, and I began to feel that I could challenge my fears. This teaching empowered me to build a ladder so that I could get out of the pit. I still feel the power of walking away from being fearful. I am confident now. I give confidence to others. Recently my Pastor singled me out in a Sunday morning message about Barnabas the son of encouragement. He said that I was one of the most encouraging people in our body. This works!!

No longer a pessimist. Review by Allan

I was definitely a black thought person. It\\\'s always been easy for me to imagine the worst and believe that nothing will really work for me, whilst blaming God that He never helped. I was the despair of my family and friends because I would argue over every positive thing they would say.
Pastors in my church would make the sign of the cross and move smartly in the opposite direction. I must admit that I sent dark thoughts in the Cooke direction the first time I heard this message. I hated it!! But then I found myself listening to it again, { I still don\\\'t know why? }. then I listened to it again a third and fourth time. Something changed in me. I wrote notes and actually thought about them.
Then, hardly daring to pray, I practiced what I was hearing, and it worked!! So I took another step, then another, all the time thinking it would come to an end. But it didn\\\'t. To be honest the hardest part was succeeding at something with God\\\'s help. Because then I had to admit that encouragement could be a way of life for me. No more self pity.
My family, seeing the change bought me more Cooke products, but that\\\'s another story. This message changed my story, I know it can change yours. (Posted on 8/25/11)

How to always be encouraged Review by Allison

After years of being on the run, David returned home to Ziklag to find his family and the families of his faithful men kidnapped and their homes destroyed. Graham weaves a strong message that shows how David encouraged himself in the most difficult of times and how we can too. It is an awesome tool for how to stand when everything else is falling.
