Blessings flowing out of our bend in the road of life!

A Bend in the Road by Dr David Jeremiah is indeed God-sent as I experience an unexpected bend in the road of my own life! I highly recommend everyone read it!!!

A Bend in the Road: Experiencing God When Your World Caves In

I read this book while in the hospital for chemoterapy for my leukemia. It was a tremendously inspiring and encouraging word for me at a time when I was experiencing deep depression. I highly recommend the book for anyone who is experiencing a life-threatening disease. The author focuses on how reading and studying the Psalms uplifted him in his own struggle with cancer. He emphasizes that the Psalms of David are filled with both lament over the search for God when He does not immediately answer prayer, and praise to God for His constant blessings, even in the midst of despair. The study of the Psalms is honest in its approach, and offers hope for those who are struggling. The last two chapters are the best of the book, drawing to a powerful conclusion. The reviewer who was disappointed in the book must not have read the last two chapters. Admittedly, the book may not be for everyone. But for those who have reached that point in the journey where there seems to be no hope, this book offers a practical and perceptive way to call upon God in your despair, wait patiently for an answer from God, praise God in every situation, turn to the study of God's Word (the Pslams), and pray in your time of need. This book can change your life. It did mine. Jim Newton, Clinton, MS.

An Oasis in Time of Need

This book was given to me when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I am already looking forward to my second reading. Dr. Jeremiah beautifully weaves personal stories throughout that illustrate in a real way many of the Psalms he includes and writes about. An excellent gift for those of us whose roads are not always straight.

A book filled with hope

Well written. A Bend in the Road is uplifting and filled with hope.

Comforting Book!

This book is awesome. I read the book while going through some personal problems related to stress, anxiety and depression. This book brought tremendous comfort to me and reassured me that I was never alone...God was and is always there! Reading about the highs and lows of David and relating it to your everyday life is what David Jeremiah does best. He is an excellent writer and a Godly man. Read it and you won't be disappointed.

A Wonderful Testimony

This book is a blessing to read for everyone but most especially for anyone currently going through any trials in their life. This is a book that when you read it you want to share it with everyone you come in contact with and the list just keeps growing of who should read this! This book is very enjoyable to read and you want to keep reading it. Everyone faces some point int their life when they feel they've come to the end of the road and they just can't go any further but he reminds us that God sees the full view that we can not see and he can tell that it's merely a bend in the road.
