Hope for Tough Times
Help for Those Enduring Difficult Trials
Tough times may seem insurmountable, but they are no match for God! Even in the midst of them–when you feel like you can't endure another day–He is guiding you safely through as you lean on Him.
Written by someone who has been through the fire herself, this book takes you on a rare journey into the heart of God. The compelling honesty and wisdom in each devotion will bring renewed hope, no matter what you may be facing. Exploring the unchanging truths of Scripture will encourage you to believe that God, far from abandoning you in your trials, is working to bring special blessing to your life through them.
The lessons you will learn here--tests of faith, surrender, obedience, joy, forgiveness, and more--will bring a deeper level of maturity as you emerge from the fire into a new place of freedom.
