Start Building Again
How to Overcome the Five Attacks That Stopped Your Spiritual House
Somewhere along the way, you stopped building. There was no single dramatic collapse, no announcement — just a foundation poured, walls never finished, weeds growing up through the concrete of a spiritual life you once believed would keep rising. Sickness came, or money ran out, or people you trusted turned on you, and somewhere in the middle of it, you quietly set down your tools. You are not alone in this, and you are not the first. Twenty-five centuries ago, a small group of exiles returned home to rebuild God's temple, only to watch the project stall for twenty years under five coordinated attacks: mixture, discouragement, intimidation, corruption, and accusation. The same five attacks are aimed at your own spiritual house today. Drawing on more than forty years of ministry — from packed crowds across the Pacific islands to a solitary camera in Lifou — Pastor Xutene Wanakaija names each attack plainly and walks you through how to answer it: pull the handbrake on your own strength instead of mixing it with God's, receive your hardest trial as a teammate rather than an opponent, live fearlessly under a sovereignty no human threat can breach, give God what belongs to Him, and refuse every accusation that tries to hold your gaze on the past instead of the goal ahead. This is not a book that pretends your difficulties will disappear. It is a book that will change what they mean, and give you back the tools to keep building in the middle of them. Whatever has stalled your own building project — however long it has sat still — it does not have to stay that way. It is time to pick your tools back up.
