Speaking in plain terms and using examples from the Bible, his ministry, and his years of experience as a counselor, Stanley inspires readers with his message that even seemingly insurmountable problems may be overcome by learning to summon the inner strength that God's grace provides.Winning the War Withindiscusses frankly how to cope with temptation. Many temptations have their roots in childhood experiences, Stanley explains, and he urges readers to look honestly at their weaknesses in order to understand God's guidance in working through them.How to Handle Adversityoffers practical guidelines for living through pain and discovering lessons that God teaches in hard times. When tragedy strikes, the first response is often to ask why. But the better question, Stanley says, is "How should I respond?" Leading readers through stages of confusion, anger, and hurt, Stanley illustrates how recognizing God's purpose means emerging healed from even the greatest anguish.The Gift of Forgivenessdemonstrates how to work through the turmoil of strained relationships that results from an inability to give or receive forgiveness. By looking to God's forgiveness bestowed on sinners, Stanley explains that only by nurturing a forgiving spirit is it possible to be truly at peace with oneself and others. This compilation offers practical lessons and principles that can be applied to daily life, emphasizing the importance for Christians to examine themselves before God and to trust Him to transform their challenges into victories.
