Have you ever been so overwhelmed by a crisis that you began to lose hope?
Life has a way of bringing unexpected “storms.” Some people are ruined by their storms, while others are refined by them. How we respond to seasons of adversity makes all the difference in the outcome. Standing Strong in the Storm drills down into the scriptures to reveal practical and often overlooked truths that will empower you to thrive in the most difficult seasons of life.
As you explore the principles highlighted in this book and engage the Reflection & Application Exercises at the end of each chapter-you will cultivate resilience as you determine how to:
Respond when life seems like a nightmare. Embrace God’s journey for your life. Identify the barriers hindering your progress. Recognize the Lord’s presence in times of trouble. Receive a Word from God to stand on. Develop a strategy to deal with doubt and uncertainty. Defeat Satan’s attacks against your thoughts and emotions. Grow stronger as you overcome adversity. Make a greater impact on the other side of the storm.
God’s plan is not for us to go through storms-His plan is for us to grow through storms.
I was given this book by a coworker because it wasn’t her thing. I’ll be honest when I say I only took it because I planned to trade it in at Mckays. Several months later I decided I should read some nonfiction books in between my fiction and this was the only one I had on hand.
I started it as something of a chore (I don’t read nonfiction because I read purely for escapist reasons), however very quickly Greg’s simple writing got to me.
There are no grand words and stories in this book. Simply a man telling how God helped him through his times of trouble and how God can do the same for anyone.
Highly recommend this to everyone no matter what you may be going through!
I found this book to have a genuine tone with an extremely direct yet also extremely kind communication of pragmatic biblical principles. Very interesting stories of faith, trial, heartache, and moving forward no-matter what! I would highly recommend for anyone whether going through hardship, needing encouragement, or preparing your heart for what’s to come, there is good wisdom in this book that applies to all areas of life.
I started this book this evening and couldn’t put it down! Inspiring, encouraging, and uplifting are just a few words I can say this book has been for me so far. I can say this is a must read for anyone going through big or small storms in there lives right now. I highly recommend this to you.
I started reading this book with the ladies in my Bible study, it is so good. If you are going through hard times (which we all do) or been through hard times I feel like this book helps to give perspective of how we should deal with and keep Faith and focus off God! I would recommend this book to everyone because we all have storms we have to navigate!
