You'll Get Through This: Hope and Help for Your Turbulent Times
New York Times best-selling author Lucado uses the Old Testament’s Joseph to illustrate that, no matter what happens, we fare better facing challenges with God’s help. Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery, but he made the best of his circumstances by looking out for others, avoiding seduction, remaining honest, and staying true to his heart and intuition. After two decades, he progressed from prisoner to prince of Egypt. For those facing difficult times—job loss, illness, loss of a loved one, accident, divorce—maintaining integrity may seem out of reach, but Lucado offers countless examples of those who have done just that and reaped untold rewards. He insists that what kept these individuals rock solid was the understanding that God was with them. Lucado also touches upon several universals: understanding your specific calling and destiny, absorbing God’s grace, doing what’s morally right, the benefits of gratitude, the power of forgiveness, and the importance of making a life plan. With this book, and maybe the intercession of the divine, those facing tough times can make it through. --Susan DeGrane
