Jason Root's newly released "The Left-Handed Layup: Understanding the Purpose of Trials in Our Lives" is an engaging exploration of the eternal question of suffering.

MEADVILLE, Pa., Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Left-Handed Layup: Understanding the Purpose of Trials in Our Lives": a relevant analysis of adversity and its connection to faith. "The Left-Handed Layup" is the creation of published author Jason Root, who works as an Army Civilian for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He resides in Elizabethtown with his wife and their dog.

Root writes, "It is a question almost as old as time. Why do bad things happen to people who seem to be obedient to God? What are we, as followers of Christ with faith in His promises, to make of the trials we go through in life? Can we come to a better understanding of our personal and collective trials and the very things that God is trying to teach us when He allows us to experience them?
This book looks at those questions.
We will look at the life of David through the lens of the trials he went through and how they shaped his life.
We will look at the lives of the disciples and examine how Christ led them through some of their most significant moments and consider how these might relate to our own.
We will dive deeper into some of the pivotal experiences in Peter's life to learn more about our own relationship with Christ during trials, including what happens when our trials are caused by our failures rather than our faith.
We will also consider a few critical reasons why some trials may not go away despite our prayers and the kind of attitude we need to maintain during those times. We will learn why fear is one of our greatest enemies and forgiveness is one of our greatest friends."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Jason Root's new book is an invaluable journey through trials to rediscover the unshakeable faith forged from the fire.

Root's insights drawn from scripture are a must for every believer wanting to make sense of a painful existence, and how such a life is not only historically prevalent but often crucial in the making of a tried-and-tested foundation.
