Shelley Hitz is not just an author, but one that writes from first hand experiences to share with her readers the lessons God and life have availed.  In her book Trusting God When Bad Things Happen she very transparently shares her pain and offers timely advice to those going through a difficult season.  She has not only been the recipient of personal pain but comes from an understanding that a vast number of people suffer from pain and brokenness.Our strength, you will find, will only come in Him as our foundation gets rebuilt with Him as a cornerstone.  Answers to all our questions and pain will not be found on this side of existence and our finite minds, because they are limited, will never grasp the entire picture.  Our beauty will emerge from seemingly ashes in the refiner's fire as character will be forged into Christlikeness.Author Hitz offers tips on drawing closer to God and through those encounters, promises our attitude and views toward God will change for the better.At the end of each section are questions for reflection and a prayer.  Turn your trial into an incredible testimony as you gleam truths from the pen and heart of an author that has a passion for God and a love for His people.
