when-people-are-big-and-god-is-small“Ed Welch’s book is a discussion of a sin that is common to everyone probably in one form or another—the fear of man.  For pastors and church members alike, Welch’s book will provide a road map to uncovering and tracing the roots of a sin that deserves to be destroyed, or if not that on this side of eternity, at least recognized and resisted.” ~ Greg Gilbert, Senior Pastor at Third Avenue Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, the author of  “What Is the Gospel?”

Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts by Jerry Bridgestrustinggod
Adversity is hard to endure, and can be even harder to understand. Grappling with His concern for us we ask, “Why is God allowing this?” or “What have I done wrong?”.   In an effort to strengthen his own trust in God during a time of adversity, Jerry Bridges began a lengthy Bible study on the topic of God’s sovereignty. What he learned changed his life, and he now shares the fruit of that study with you in Trusting God As you begin to explore the scope of God’s power over nations, nature, and the detailed lives of individuals, you’ll begin to acknowledge His loving control. And as you come to know Him better, you’ll find yourself trusting Him more completely. Even when life hurts. ~ The Navigator Press
