About the author

Dr. David Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries and senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, felt God’s calling on his life at a very early age. Born February 13, 1941 in Toledo, Ohio, Dr. Jeremiah was raised in a family deeply committed to ministry. At the age of eleven, Dr. Jeremiah and his family moved to Dayton, Ohio where his father, Dr. James T. Jeremiah, was the Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, and in 1953 became the President of Cedarville College in Cedarville, Ohio.


As Dr. Jeremiah was sensitive to God’s leading in his life, he followed in his father’s footsteps. In 1963, Dr. Jeremiah received a Bachelor of Arts from Cedarville College. In that same year, Dr. Jeremiah married his college sweetheart, Donna Thompson who also was attending Cedarville College as a business major. He went on to earn a Masters degree in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1967. He completed additional graduate work at Grace University and was granted the Doctor of Divinity degree from Cedarville College in 1981.



In 1969, Dr. Jeremiah began Blackhawk Baptist Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and developed a Christian school grades K through 12. In the 12 years he served as pastor, Blackhawk Baptist Church grew from 7 families to 1300 members. He also launched The Bible Hour television program.



Dr. Jeremiah heeded God’s call, and in 1981 he and his family moved to California where he became the senior pastor of Scott Memorial Baptist Church, now Shadow Mountain Community Church.



Shadow Mountain Community Church is one of the largest churches in San Diego County. It is also the home of Southern California Seminary and Christian Unified Schools.



As Dr. Jeremiah began his ministry at Shadow Mountain, he felt God’s calling to continue the broadcast ministry he started in Fort Wayne. In 1982, Turning Point Ministries became a reality.



Today, Turning Point's 30-minute radio program is heard nationally and internationally on over 1800 stations and translator/satellators. In recognition of Dr. Jeremiah’s commitment to teaching the Word of God, he received the Broadcaster of the Year Award in 1999 from the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), in August 2002, received the Award of Merit from the Western Chapter of National Religious Broadcasters for Excellence in Broadcasting and Faithfulness in Service, and in 2006 Turning Point received the Best Radio Teaching Program Award. Dr. Jeremiah has served on the Board of Directors for the NRB since 1996.



Turning Point launched a television program in 1982 in San Diego and went nationwide in 2000. Now seen around the world through cable and satellite technology, as well as on terrestrial stations all across the United States, conservative estimates suggest that close to 200 million homes around the world have access to Dr. Jeremiah's Bible teaching each week. Turning Point Television offers a half-hour Bible study message and a full hour worship service with the same great preaching. Carried on several national and international networks such as TBN, ION, and INSP, Turning Point Television has most recently been added to Middle East TV Network and BET, the Black Entertainment Network.



Dr. Jeremiah is a sought-after conference speaker for organizations around the country. He frequently speaks at Cedarville College, Dallas Theological Seminary, Moody Bible Institute, Billy Graham Training Center, Phil Waldrep’s Senior Adult Celebrations and numerous NFL, NBA and Baseball chapels.



Along with his speaking schedule around the country, Dr. Jeremiah also finds time to fulfill another passion in his life, writing. His books are always gripping and right to the point. Some of his books include Escape the Coming Night, The Power of Encouragement, What the Bible Says About Angels, Prayer The Great Adventure, which brought him The Gold Medallion Award in 1998, God In You, Gifts from God

I really enjoyed this 40 day devotional by Jeremiah. Thought provoking and easy to retain. Highly recommend for a spiritual quiet time.

[John]

This book contains a great deal of good suggestions for how to live a Christian life. It is a great book for anyone who believes that truly being a Christian takes more than just professing Christianity.

[Chockletter]

Another wonderful book by Dr. Jeremiah!!!!

[Heather]

40-day devotional. There were tons of unnecessary extended analogies (1 page plus on racing cars) that didn't add anything. And then he'd use cutesy terminology from them like DGS (divine guidance system). In trying to be engaging , he detracted from the spiritual messages. And even ignoring that stuff, many of the days' topics were repetitive. This ended up feeling like a lot of filler.

[Jennifer Skeen]

My first read of David Jeremiah. Loved this book! Did not read as a devotional as it was difficult to put down. Was sorry when it ended. I love Christian books that stress it is not just good enough to call ourselves Christians. We must live it. Will be reading more of David Jeremiah. ❣️

[Leslea Abshire]

great insight !!! Lots of things to ponder and think about

[Karen]

Very practical and challenging. David Jeremiah includes Scripture and a personal question at the end of each days reading. This would be good 40 day type of devotional.

[Gary Cain]

I really do pick great books. Want to know what a real Christian looks like. Well, here it is.

[Diane Bateman]

I loved how this book read and gave some many great values in life . I would recommend that you should read it for yourself .

[Sheila Myers]

A great book for all Christians.

[Emily]

In deciding to become a "transformed" person of faith a couple of years ago and rise above the status quo... the book was basically just a good review and served as a reminder for me about staying on track. For anyone wanting to truly be Christ's hands and feet in this world and not just talk about it...this is a place where you will find practical ideas and Scriptural foundation to guide you.

[Michael]

Very insightful and well written. I feel that this book has helped me to a new understanding. Full of insightful and useful information. David Jeremiah does an excellent job of presenting material in an easy to understand form.

[Paul Gerard]

Signs of Life for a Christian are Dusty shoes, Worn-out knees, Rolled-up sleeves, An open hand, and Outstreached arms. All about living the Chrisitan Life.

[Daniel]

Informs us how others view us and what kind of testimony we need to be having to the world in our every day life.

[Greg]

Nice devotionals.

Excellent book. Great book to go through over 40 days as a devotional.

It wasn't bad but it wasn't overly stimulating either.

A lot to think about &
