Way Through the Wilderness : Growing in Faith When Life Is Hard

At one time or another, everyone has a wilderness experience, a time when life is barren and difficult and we feel alone and desperate, not knowing where to turn. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, a financial or health crisis, divorce, or some other painful experience, we see no end in sight and wonder how we can make it through another day.In the Scriptures we see that often God's people went through a wilderness experience, and these experiences changed them in profound ways. The truth is that it's impossible to go through the wilderness without being changed. There's a way through the wilderness that can leave us broken and bitter and far away from God. But there's another way throughGod's waythat leaves us with a deeper faith and draws us closer to God than we ever imagined.With sensitivity and warmth, Rob Renfroe explores the wilderness experiencewhat it is, how we get there, why God allows it, and how we can get through it God's way so that we learn the lessons that can be learned only in the desolate seasons of life when we are totally dependent on God.A DVD featuring six interviews with the author and a full leader guide are also available for group study.
