Lean Hard on Jesus: God's Great Goodness in Your Darkest Night

by Joyce Rogers

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."
Romans 8:28, NKJV This is a familiar Bible verse, but one that we all too easily forget when we are facing tragedy and suffering. It is in these times that we must lean on Jesus and dig into His Word to rediscover God's great goodness. In this book Joyce Rogers speaks openly about what God has done and is doing in her life. She believes with all her heart in the goodness, dependability, and mercy of God, which He has shown her even in the darkest nights of her soul. Through every story, poem, and Bible verse in these pages, she reminds us that God is good and that all goodness comes from Him. Joyce Rogers's powerful illustrations of how God transforms grief into hope, weakness into strength, and uncertainty into faith demonstrate that God is good. All the time.

[Alicia Ruggieri]

This book is a strong, personal, Biblical urging for each one of us to trust Him who loves us so. Those who have listened to Adrian Rogers will recognize a similar outlook on and approach to life in his wife’s sincere and lived-out words. If you or a friend is going through any kind of difficult time, this book provides a wonderfully sensitive yet uncompromising encouragement to ask God for “grace to trust Him more,” as the old hymn-writer says. Highly recommended.

Simple, to the point, loaded with relevant scriptures and personal applications from her life The end of each chapter contains several ways to practice applications in the readers life. In this time of so much struggle, I found this as relevant as the day it was written.
