Crushing : God turns pressure into power
(Book)

In this insightful book, T. D. Jakes wrestles with age-old questions: Is God okay with the coexistence of joy and utter anguish? Do we have to suffer so much loss in this life in order to mature in our faith? Why would a good Father allow His children to suffer so much pain, injustice, and heartache? In his most personal offering yet, Bishop Jakes emphasizes the value of asking these difficult questions and tells crushing stories from his own journey--the painful experience of learning his teenage daughter was pregnant, the agony of watching his mother succumb to Alzheimer's, and the shock and helplessness he felt when his son had a heart attack. But he soon learned that God was using those challenging experiences to prepare him for unexpected blessings. As the Master Vintner, God knows your crops of fruit are merely part of an ongoing, greater process to fulfill the destiny He has in store for you. Bishop Jakes wants to remind you that if you are faithful through suffering, you will be surprised by God's joy, comforted by His peace, and filled with His purpose. --,Provided by publisher.
