This Flag Does Not Come Down
During the Golden Age of Piracy, marauders such as Blackbeard, Black Bart, and others drew on a number of techniques to commandeer a ship. Once on board, to signal their domination, they would raise their flag over the conquered vessel. This maneuver was a way to tell all other ships—private, public, and pirate—"This one is mine, and is now under my control." From shadowing to reshaping the ship to the destroying of the manifest, the steps in this oppressive occupation are identical to those the Chief Thief, of whom Jesus warns humanity, takes to highjack people's lives.
Drawing on his own life experiences, Pastor Art Evans reveals the strategies Satan, like the pirates of the high seas, used to conquer his life and steer him toward addictions. Aware of the grave peril he was in, Art called out to Jesus Christ, the Prince of Life, Who, stepped onto Art's ship, tore the pirate's flag down, and raised His own blood-bought, blood-stained banner. It's His flag that does not come down!
“This Flag Does Not Come Down! What a tremendous depiction of God’s plan for our lives. No matter what Satan throws our way, God already knows how He will use our testimony for His glory! I particularly enjoyed the interwoven storylines and parallels of the pirates hijacking “one’s” ship and the significance of their flags being raised over them. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and I look forward to Art’s next book!”
“‘This Flag Does Not Come Down’ is one of the most gripping books I have read in my lifetime! In his book, Art tells his amazing story of being raised in a Preacher’s home while allowing his own ship to be taken over by the most evil pirate, ever. One of the most incredible stories I’ve ever read. One that will break deception and bring deliverance.”
““This Flag Does Not Come Down” is a welcome adventure into the world of pirates with a brilliant spiritual twist—good v evil. I left reading and found myself onboard a ship, rooting for the good guy to choose life and not those crooked, slinky pirates. Being nonchalant about who stakes their flag on the ship of your life is strongly discouraged. This is no ordinary cruise. Ready to set sail? Strap in!””
“This flag does not come down is one of the most interesting and satisfying books you will ever read. The author intertwines his personal story of redemption throughout the pages of this story that will leave you inspired and strengthened in your soul.”
