Mais um livro cristão inesquecível. Também li a muitos anos atrás e foi muito impactante. Como Deus pode nos transformar em qualquer situação para o nosso bem. Acho que atualmente nao é mais editado em português pois nunca mais o encontrei. Dei o meu exemplar para uma conhecida que tinha acabado de perder seu bebezinho e ele o ajudou muito.

Does God care about our hurts and heartaches? Can He ever make something good out of our messed up lives?

Evelyn Christenson reveals how God wants to be intimately involved in our daily lives--if we will draw near Him. What an exchange He gives us! The author uses numerous examples from her own experience, as well as His work in the lives of those who pursue Him.

I first read this book in 1973 when I was learning to walk with God and trust Him. I've read this boot at least twice since--and each time I've experienced God's providence and loving kindness. The author supports her assertions with Scripture.

God gives in proportion to the need. He is always "there" but sometimes can be "more near" particularly during tragedy and this idea is Biblical. How this can be the way bigger gain that what you've lost. I can attest to this, and I'm trying to remind myself of it every day ... I miss my mama.

This book is a tough book at times to read,so I read slowly but it helped me a great deal.
