Trials: God's Refining Fire (Hope for the Heart)

Everyone faces trials. Whether it's losing a job or losing a loved one, when trials hit they often make us wonder Why this? Why now? Why me?

When turbulent trials blow across the sunny skies of your life, how do you respond? Do you stew and fret, searching for solutions? Amidst trials, recognize if you
• Have a tendency to deny the facts
• Always have reasons to blame other people
• Are prone to sink into self-pity

Instead, realize that the presence of trials in your life reveals that God may be trying to get a message through to you. Trials are tests of your faith, patience or endurance through the process of suffering—providing the quality or worth of something or someone.

Packed with easy-to-understand explanations, Bible verses, and biblical encouragement, this book shows how God uses trials of life to refine us, strengthen us, and transforms us into His glorious image. The Spirit of Christ is living in you and gives you power to live above the winds of any adversity. Stand on God's promises and be encouraged during tough times.
