John Nieder - a Man of God that I Know

I've had the privilege studying under John's teachings in my men's group (Men of the Word) for several years and he is truly an amazing teacher. In an day and age when many preachers are toying with dangerous "new ways of doing church," John focuses on Biblical teachings. Since the 80s he has been on the air with "The Art of Family Living" and for several years has had a weekly show on John DeBrine's Songtime about prophecy which I would highly recommend in the day and age we live in.

In 2007 he started a church in Coppell called The Chapel which has been another avenue I've enjoyed hearing his teaching. He has authored several books, including What You Need to Tell Your Child About Sex (Thomas Nelson Publishers), Forgive and Love Again (with Dr. Thomas M. Thompson, Harvest House Publishers) and The Marriage Maker (Harvest House Publishers), and The Wake-up Call, Hope for the 9/11 Generation (Xulon Press).

In November John had to be taken to the hospital and he was unconscious for a period of time. During this I remember crying out to the Lord, "You can't take him yet we need him." Since that time he's recovered fully and appears to me that he's stronger than before his time in the hospital. The Lord can makes us stronger when he's challenged us.
