Welcome to the Valor Christian College Library
The library contains 35 bookcases of materials, classified according to the Dewey Decimal System. The library staff is working to reclassify the materials according to the Library of Congress Classification System. We are more than happy to assist you during this transition.

Valor Christian College Founder
Here at the Valor Christian College library, we take pride in stocking multiple copies of the books that Pastor Rod Parsley and his wife Joni Parsley have written. You can find copies of these books on the bookshelves, as well as on special displays in the library. We strongly encourage you to take time to read them.
Here on the library website, we will be featuring one of Pastor or Joni’s books periodically. Here is the currently featured book:
The first two acts of the greatest drama mankind has ever witnessed were astonishing in their accuracy and impact. The carpenter’s Son Jesus of Nazareth not only foretold His crucifixion but also staggered His critics by affirming that He would rise from the dead on the third day. He was correct about the first two predictions. But the curtain on the final act has yet to be raised.
The climax of human history will take center stage before a world that despised Him and rejected Him. Soon earth’s teeming billions will bow, either willingly or grudgingly, to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord.
Best-selling author Dr. Rod Parsley compels you with the urgency of our time in convincing clarity that humanity’s eternal destination is a matter of today’s decisions. Refuse to be taken captive by the fear and uncertainty of our times. The Finale is your guide to the absolute victory and ultimate liberty God has always intended for you.
