When Trouble Shows Up: Seeing God's Transforming Love

CCEF Minibooks

by Robert D. Jones

Where is God in all this? Does he really love me? Perhaps you are asking questions like these in the midst of tough situations that come your way. You want to trust God's plan for your life, but when hardship intrudes, it is often difficult to believe that God is both good and in control.

Robert D. Jones walks you through seven ways Jesus lovingly meets you in your suffering. By connecting you to the one who has suffered all things on your behalf, he helps you to remember that God is trustworthy and to see the joy and life to which he is calling you.

“What are onlookers-our friends, family, children, and coworkers- learning about our Savior by observing how we handle tough situations? Trials grant us unparalleled opportunities to honor and spotlight God-to show others the real difference he makes in our lives”

While only a brief booklet, this contains a well-written and comprehensive overview of suffering. Thoroughly biblical and practical. Easy to recommend.

This mini booklet guides through the "7 E's" God uses when we have trials in life. Enhance, Experience, Expose, Engage, Exhibit, Equip, and Elevate. Every trial we face will do one (or more) of the seven of these. Each short section shows us how we can see God in our trials and hardships!

A very encouraging book that points you over and over back to our Savior Jesus. I highly recommend this for anyone at any stage of life!
