“Stranded in a desert of grief and pain? As a pastor myself, I’ve seen just how much God can do in 40 days. Just as the Spirit led Jesus into the desert for fasting, prayer, and ultimate victory over Satan, Armando’s comforting words throughout this devotional remind us that ‘Jesus made it out of the desert, and so will you.’ Armando’s passionate desire to serve the Church and his community combined with his unique experience as both a pastor AND a licensed mental health counselor makes him a trustworthy guide for all those journeying with Jesus through a personal desert of loss and grief.”

“The days in which we live can be dark and challenging. Hope seems scarce and uncertainty seems to be constant. How does one respond to devastating and heart-breaking news? Where does one turn when receiving a painful report? As people of faith, we turn to our Savior, Jesus Christ, and sometimes we need a friend to walk alongside us through the storm as well. Through Battle to Win: Pressing Through Pain for a God-Sized Outcome, Armando Palazzo becomes that “come-alongside,” kind of friend. With raw and deep transparency, Armando will lead you through God’s powerful work in his life, because God has the same outcome in mind for you too. As you daily read Battle to Win, God will heal your heart, your hurt, and you’ll receive one of the most powerful tools to maintain your healing and wholeness; HOPE. Armando has been a personal friend of mine for many years and I can attest to his sincerity and genuine walk with Christ. As a pastor, I highly recommend Battle to Win for every minister, counselor and Christian to help deal with the “stuff” of life. My only regret while reading Battle to Win was that it wasn’t written 20 years ago. What a wonderful tool this book would have been for so many I have known. My heart is grateful for Armando sharing his heart with us in this book. I am confident you will feel the same when you are finished reading, Battle to Win too.

“Grieving should be something that Christians do naturally because loss is a natural part of life. Sadly, it is not. There is hardly any space for Christians to grieve when a loss is sustained. Sometimes it is because we over-spiritualize our loss, or sometimes, it is because the Church creates a superficial environment where our struggles are not welcomed. Armando Palazzo’s Battle to Win will guide Christians who are struggling to take steps where they can find the courage to grieve and find healing and strength from our heavenly Father. If you have never grieved or are struggling to grieve, please pick up this devotional, and may God bring healing into your life.”

“This heart-felt devotional was birthed through tears. Through Armando’s guidance we learn to pray our pain, process our pain, and worship through our pain. We learn to hope deeply and suffer well, one day at a time.”
