What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do

There are times in everyone's life when tremendous difficulties arise. In those moments, time may seem suspended, other times it seems to go faster in a relentless rush. How you react, if you can react at all, is crucial. But often we just don't know what to do.
-
Popular, well-loved authors, Cloud and Townsend have recognized 8 proven strategies that will help you find God's way through difficult situations. They have compiled them in this small, glossy, hardcover book you can toss in your purse or briefcase. It's also the perfect size for gift-giving.
-
Each principle has its own chapter, making the book easily navigated, which is great because when you're at the end of your rope, a large or difficult reference book can be unapproachable and ineffective.
-
There is a bonus section after the 8 Principles are discussed. The bonus material addresses some particular hardships for which people tend to seek help such as addictions and depression.
-
I found the book very practical, helpful and easy to read. It is encouraging, positive and motivational, a good source of help in the time of need.
-
When difficulties arise, don't repeat what didn't work before and don't give up and stop trying altogether. Curl up with this book and let it lead you to applications from God's Word that will lead to help and encouragement.

Full Disclosure: I received this book free from the publisher for the purpose of review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
