Biblical reflections helping you to have faith and to trust God in hard times.
Life doesn't always go the way we hoped, and sometimes God doesn't answer our prayers the way we'd like. Challenging circumstances, especially ones with no immediate end in sight, can cause us to question God's character, his purpose and his ways.
Each of these 20 biblical reflections examines a truth about God and shows how it provides an anchor for the soul in hard times. Author Katie Faris writes with warmth and compassion, weaving in stories of her own family's struggles with complex medical conditions. She encourages readers to entrust their confusing circumstances and unanswered questions to the Lord and place their hope in his promises. In so doing, they will be sustained in their suffering and enabled to live joyfully and fruitfully, loving and serving God and others, in the midst of their struggles.
This beautiful hardback book will help you if you are going through hard times, or walking alongside those who are. It is also a great gift for a brother or sister in Christ who is struggling.
