Synopsis

Includes Study Guide

All of us, at one time or another, face sorrow, grief, or loss―these challenges spare no one. The question is, How will we respond to these challenges? In this new edition of his uplifting book, James W. Moore shows us that we have a choice. We can become bitter, or we can ask for God’s help to grow into better people.

The author shares his supportive and upbeat message through compelling stories of healing through faith, hope, and resilience. Each chapter features a key passage of Scripture, as well as inspirational examples of the way others have dealt positively with life’s challenges. James W. Moore also offers uplifting advice to show how, through God’s help, we can see problems as opportunities, convert defeat into victory, grow spiritually, and look at change as a way to begin a new and more meaningful way of life.
