Stories, Hope When Life Fractures

This book is not written by a panel of professional psychologists,church leaders, or counselors. It is writen by people who have experienced hand-to-hand combat with suffering. Each person is from Calvary Church, a Christian community of 3000 people in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Calvary is a group of imperfect men, women, and children who have experienced the forgiveness God provided through Jesus, and who have also experienced the challenges of living in a world that disappoints. Such disappointments take many forms, including illness, divorce, abuse, and loss. What they all have in common, however, is the need for endurance and hope. It is our desire that these stories provide you with endurance for another day, and with hope that can carry you beyond your present circumstances.
