    About this audiobook

    We live in a time when things are tough for a lot of folks.  The boomers are beginning to feel anxiety as they move toward retirement.  Many people are facing financial pressure and are up to their ears in debt.  We are having to care for both our kids and our parents.

    The pace of life, and the demands of life, just keep getting more intense.  And for many, these tough times bring life crises.  This is a book of encouragement, hope and freedom... an invitation to meet Christ at the crossroads of our lives and move beyond the tough times.

      As always he brings the scriptures to life and makes the relatable. I treasure this way of learning and spiritual growth
    • 4/5
      Second time to read this book. It is divided into short chapters and covers; temptation, misunderstanding, anxiety, shame, doubt, divorce, remarriage, confrontation, pain, prejudice, hypocrisy, inadequacy, disqualification and death. The author uses stories from the Bible to support his advice to those suffering the various trials that we all face at some time in life. The reader is left feeling as though they are not alone in suffering as God is never very far away. I especially liked the true story of the blind boy named John at the end. Wasn't so keen on the frequent references to the Passion of the Christ movie and exhortations to watch it.

      Very easy to read with useful advice and supported by scripture. Recommended to all Christians struggling with any of the above....
