Victorious Faith in Jesus Christ: Creates Good Christian Conduct by Joan Jessalyn Cox is written in three major points, like any good sermon. The first point, a Godly Vision for Christian Conduct, is meant to provide a picture of the goal. The goal is to know what you believe and why, to be Christ-like in one’s behavior, and thus to win others to Christ. The second point involves the spiritual battle and some of the obstacles that will be presented in it. A Christian must be aware of how he/she may be perceived by other Christians as well as by the unbeliever, and how that will impact one’s success regarding the goal. Point three includes some strategies to be used and the importance of spiritual discernment. Discernment will assist the believer in knowing what avenue to take in speaking with unbelievers. The Holy Spirit will guide the believer, but one has to listen and seek God's truth in order to be thus guided.

I really enjoyed Victorious Faith in Jesus Christ: Creates Good Christian Conduct by Joan Jessalyn Cox because I am a Christian. Of course, mixed with my enjoyment was the subtle reminder of some areas I need to work on. One cannot hope to know and enjoy fellowship with Christ without seeking Him and His Word, and spending time in prayer, and many people fall behind in that area. Just like any relationship, this one must be nurtured and pursued before it can bear fruit. Joan Jessalyn Cox has written a series which will be a valuable resource for pastors and Bible teachers. She has included many Bible references throughout to illustrate and explain her points.

Author Joan Jessalyn Cox in her book Victorious Faith in Jesus Christ: Creates Good Christian Conduct enables the believer to dig deeper into their faith, to be stretched and molded into the image of Christ. The reader quickly understands more about when the various difficulties of life come their way; they have an opportunity to let it defeat them, or learn and grow from it. She gives a very valid point when she writes: “When you move in discord with Jesus Christ’s word, you move away from His blessed way of living. You then move in chaos created by sin and you are shutting God out of your life.” While the author's viewpoints are very convincing, she more importantly gives lots of scriptures to back up what she is saying and why she is saying it.

Author Cox helps the reader to better understand that where one places their trust can be very defeating. When it is placed in the wrong person, it can bring defeat and discouragement; however, when placed within the right person it can bring edification and encouragement. Author Cox also shares: “You are impacted by the beliefs, behavior, attitudes and actions of the people you meet every day.” The reader can quickly understand that who a person hangs around with is who will greatly influence them. She emphasizes the need for strong Godly discipline to live a strong, healthy, productive life. There are great detailed explanations concerning being a babe in Christ and growing up to be a strong believer. This book will certainly help the reader to become stronger in their faith and to strengthen their walk with the Lord.
