“Fight for It” is a call to action encouraging us to recognize the things in life that are truly worth our time, focus, energy and prayer. In other words, the things that are worth fighting for. Dr. Roger Patterson provides sound biblical teaching and innovative resources in this thought-provoking read. He has a way of igniting fresh understanding using simple illustrations to clarify deep spiritual truths. I know we will all be blessed by this teaching on how a “good fight” can strengthen marriages, heal homes, fortify the church, and even influence culture. —DR. ED YOUNG, Senior Pastor, Second Baptist Church, Houston If you’re like me, you’ve gotten knocked down by life sometime during the last couple of years. That’s why I was so excited to see Roger Patterson’s work in Fight for It. He takes clear principles from one of my favorite books on rebuilding (Nehemiah) and applies them to today’s challenges. You’ve either been knocked down, or you will be. Either way, you need this book. -WILLIAM VANDERBLOEMEN, Founder and CEO Vanderbloemen The books of Ezra and Nehemiah present one of the most unexpected comeback stories in history. They tell of the amazing impact of ordinary people, led by God, to dream the extraordinary. “Fight for It” skillfully weaves our everyday choices and challenges into the narrative and demonstrates how we too can be used by God to impact not only the lives of our family but the lives of our city. It pushes us to dream bigger. -DR. MARK HARTMAN, Lead Pastor, Sugar Creek Baptist Church Leaders should expect struggle and learn how to power through. Knowing what fights lay ahead, and that some fights matter while others don’t, are critical junctures in the journey of every leader. This book will be a great resource for any who are seeking to use God’s word for counsel, discernment, and encouragement as they navigate the fights that truly are worth fighting. -DR. JOSH ELLIS, Executive Director UBA, Houston
