When the Storms Come
Released this week, "When the Storms Come" is the account of one man's faith in the midst of incredible trials, and his triumph over sin, sickness and death.
(PRWEB) November 22, 2004 -- "When the Storms Come" takes you through the high and low points in the life of an Old Testament believer. Those who walk through its pages with Job and his family will discover how to "take" trials in the power and strength of the Lord, how to rejoice in the midst of pain, and how to trust God in all circumstances.
"This is one of the most accessible books on spiritually surviving grief and losses that I have ever read. Its short meditations and prayers are powerfully written, and they address todays problem with the same strength and courage that Job used when he faced his own grief and losses. Although the author never states outright the role of Job in our lives, it is clear that she means him to be a role model of unwavering-although humanly flawed-faith in Gods ultimate caring love for each of us.
To say that the book is timely is an understatement, for men and women have struggled with problems of loss since birth, wondering if they are equal to the demands that life places on us all. However the author-in everyday vernacular-tells us that we can take it"-a day at a time," and she vividly demonstrates the Bibles promises for courage, strength, healing and heavenly affirmation of our worth.
Using resonant metaphors such as spiritual muscles," strengthened daily by on the job" prayers, she talks to men in language they can understand. To women who are overwhelmed with housework, she urges them to use their ironing boards as their altars, where they can pray for their families while performing on the job" duties.
The affirmations and imagery used in this book continually enhance its message, as the author speaks of Jesus as a friend, continually beside us, never leaving us alone and isolated. Jesus is there to support us as we imbue ourselves with Jobs examples of faith. With Job as role model, we can recreate our lives and reclaim a positive, spiritual new life for ourselves-despite loss. With this book and Gods promises, we can begin living and loving again, healing our wounds and opening our hearts to a renewed sense of spiritual and physical purpose."
