Avoiding Pitfalls

Book

I think of the words of Jesus in John 16:33, “In this world you will have tribulation but take courage I have overcome the world.” In short, this book is not about tragedy but about overcoming the crises we all face in life. We cannot prevent life from happening, but we can help how we prepare ourselves for what may come and how we will respond through and beyond those challenges. I pray this book would help and encourage you to overcome by God’s grace and power.
