Trouble knows where you live... how will you respond when it arrives? The issue is not if troubles will come, but how you respond when they come. The more spiritually mature you are, the better you will be able to handle the trials of life with faith and trust in God. In his easy-to-read style, author Joey A. Perry, Sr. presents seven Biblical truths that will lead to spiritual growth and help you handle the challenges, crises, and circumstances you encounter on a daily basis.

Description

Problems. Troubles. Tough times. The issue is not if they will come, but how you respond when they come. Will you become fearful, worry about what might happen, or doubt God's love for you? Your response to difficult times will be determined by your level of spiritual maturity. Spiritual maturity is not some abstract, theological idea that does not touch your everyday life. On the contrary, spiritual maturity affects the way you live daily. The more spiritually mature you are, the better you will be able to handle the trials of life with faith and trust in God. In his easy-to-read style, author Joey A. Perry, Sr. presents seven truths from God's Word that will lead to spiritual growth. Joey gives practical suggestions that will help you embrace these truths and make them an integral part of your life. Reading, absorbing, and applying these truths will enable you to do the following:

1) Realize God loves you, despite your circumstances!

2) Trust God's wisdom and power, even when you don't understand why you are going through what you are going through!

3) Praise God, in spite of your problems!

4) Face life's challenges with faith in God instead of fear!

5) Worry less when you encounter trouble because you will understand God is in complete control of everything, including your situation!

6) Have and exhibit the joy of the Lord, regardless of what is going on around you!

7) And much, much more!
