From Pain to Pearls: How to turn your trouble into triumph
How do we respond when bad things happen to good people? Can we really trust God when He does not always intervene to prevent our suffering? If God does not promise us a trouble-free life, then what exactly does He promise?These are real, gritty questions that many Christians struggle to answer when they are faced with adversity in their own lives or in the lives of those around them. Using real life stories, anecdotes and personal experiences, this book will show you that though you may not be able to choose what happens to you, you can choose your response to it.
God is not the source of our pain – He is the resource for our healing. From Pain to Pearls will help you discover the tools made available for us to overcome every hurt and trial, and will connect you to an ultimate hope – that in and through our suffering we can become more than we ever thought possible.
