Standing on the Promises : Finding God's Peace in the Hurts of Life

When trying seasons come -- as they often do -- women seek firm ground on which to stand. Author Susan Wales shares wisely from a lifetime of personal experience and communication with other women who have coped with the sometimes-piercing hurts within marriage, motherhood, infertility, divorce, financial loss, career, family, friendships, illness, aging, and the death of a loved one. "We all suffer disappointments in our lives," says Wales. Her true-life "survival stories," selected Scripture promises, and contemporary woman's counsel for difficult times will reach readers where they hurt and guide them gently on from fear to faith to freedom from emotional pain. The essential female reference -- for you or a hurting friend! From the Trade Paperback edition I want to encourage you who are suffering, who face the stinging winds and blustery rain of a storm. I want to stand with you when there are no obvious answers. I want to help you find the only answer that really matters. I want to be your friend in the winds that blow your way, and invite you to come under the shelter of Jesus Himself.Come along and stand with me on His promises. I will share myumbrella with you.--
