Customer Reviews

Great Book!
If you are struggling with stress, failure, depression, an overwhelming crisis, this is a great book. The great thing about this book is that it gives real steps that you can do right now to help your situation and the way you think. It is written from a Christian perspective and offers Bible references and stories that offer hope and strength in difficult times. I loved the story of Elijah. I had read I Kings 19 before, but never thought about it the way he explains. It is short and to the point, not a lot of fluff, just sincere help when you need it most.

God's Answer to Life's Difficult Questions (Living With Purpose)
The author of this book gives great facts from the Holy Bible on the lives of the people in the Bible. That we may learn from their mistkes and their successes and how to avoid needless trials, temptations, and error in our lives

Great resource. Very useful indeed
By relating a common problem to a biblical figure (Stress - Jesus, Resilience - Peter, Depression - Elijah, Mediocrity - Jabez, Peace of Mind - Moses, Discouragement - Nehemiah, Problem Solving - Jehoshaphat, Confidence in Crisis - Paul, Change - Jacob, Regret - Samson, Loneliness - Paul), the author had written a great book for Christians who need guidance on Earth. The beauty of it, on top of the superb advice one can find in an above average self help book, is that readers can easily refer themselves to the spiritual heroes of whom they are already familiar with. That helps both memory, application and faith. Afterall, "We cant live out the Christian life on our own, because we have a power shortage. We need the power that comes from God. pg112" No matter how brilliant a self help book can be, there's no better way to get advice and power from God. In short, highly recommended!

p.s. Below please find my favorite passages for your reference.

Preparation prevents pressure but procrastination produces it. Good organization and good preparation reduce stress because you know who you are, whom you're trying to please, and what you want to accomplish. Having clear goals greatly simplifies life. pg19
You can choose whether those things will make you a bitter person or a better person. It is your responsibility. No one can ruin your life except you! The devil cant, because he doesnt have enough power. God wont, because he loves you. Only you can ruin your own life. pg87
Money is to be used, not loved. pg89
