I cannot contain my approval of this book. There is truth here that every Christian needs to read and understand. In this book the authors take us on a journey through scripture and what God taught related to the pain that inevitably comes into every life.

There is no way to avoid the things that life brings, such as death. Every person who lives very long will experience the death of those they know and love and eventually we will all have to deal with our own death in this world. This book will help you to understand how we can grow and become mature in our faith as face these difficult times.

Losing a job, suffering an illness or that of a loved one, disease, divorce, etc… We live in a fallen world but the authors of this book help us to find meaning and purpose in every situation we will face in this life and the benefits for the life to come. There really is a purpose and a plan in God’s economy.

Too many people today are living depressed and discouraged because of what they have had to face in life as well as the many who are losing hope because of the fear of what they will have to face in the future. This book is for you. Get it, devour it, share it. Every page has something you can use to understand life and the struggles we face.

This book will remain in my library to help those who come for counsel and I will read it over and over, not only to help others but to remind myself, God really does understand and care, there really is a plan in the madness.
