If peace seems elusive in your life today, commit yourself to God, commit your concerns to Him in prayer, and then rest peacefully as you trust in Him.

David Jeremiah

David Jeremiah (* 1941) ist ein US-amerikanischer baptistischer Pastor, Buchautor und Gründer des Mediennetzwerks Turning Point Ministries, der seit 1981 die Shadow Mountain Community Church in Kalifornien leitet. Er vertritt eine konservativ-evangelikale Theologie mit dispensationalistischer Prägung und ist vor allem für seine Auslegungen zur biblischen Endzeitprophetie bekannt. Bibellesern bietet er leicht verständliche und praxisnahe Impulse, während sein Medienwerk wegen des Einsatzes umstrittener Marketingmethoden zur Platzierung auf Bestsellerlisten in der Kritik stand.
