Excellent and Helpful for Dark Times

I found this book to be a quick and easy read, and found it to be so helpful, it went on my Christmas list. I gave out thirteen copies to friends, coworkers, and members of my Bible Study! As you go through an experience it can be a daunting, as well as isolating experience. This book lets you know that God is right behind you with open arms, and that you can turn and lean on His strength, regardless of the circumstances of your trial.
