by Barney Coombs

Seasoned pastor and author Barney Coombs looks at how to cope with the adverse circumstances that life often presents us with. Even though no one goes looking for them, trials do come - and how we react to them will affect our spiritual growth and our relationship with God - either positively, or negatively.

Whether it is coping with the bitter sting of betrayal by a close friend, handling rejection, getting through a bereavement, or receiving healing from past hurts, this book offers wise, biblical, and practical advice that will help people turn a potential crisis into a point of positive spiritual growth that will lead to a greater intimacy with Christ.

Born out of a wealth of pastoral experience, this book will provide refreshment and hope for all who are feeling battered by life's circumstances, and it will be a useful tool for those in pastoral ministry who counsel others.
