From: How To Handle Adversity by Charles Stanley

My Aunt sent me this book because she knows I love Charles Stanley's writings. I laughed out loud when I opened the package because I had just finished a book on suffering and now I'm moving on to adversity. (deep waters). What I've learned just from reading some of the reviews is that "all adversity is not necessarily bad but in fact a life building and beneficial experience." (review credit: lycaminternational@msn.com)

Product Description

The loss of a job. A rebellious child. A loved one dies. A dear friend has been diagnosed with cancer. A struggling marriage. Financial hardships.
The list is endless. When hard times come, we need wisdom to navigate through the shoals of adversity into a safe harbor. And now, in How to Handle Adversity, Charles Stanley offers a practical, biblical approach to help us deal with the troubles common to us all.
Adversity is a reality that no one can avoid. Everyone asks why when adversity strikes. Yet Stanley contends, "As much as we all want to know the answer to the why question, it is really not the most significant question. The real question each of us needs to ask is, 'How should I respond?'
