Drawing from biblical truth and her personal experience, the best-selling author of A Woman After God's Own Heart reassures women that God is present and with them during troubled times, including difficult work experiences, emotional distress, and the death of a loved one. Original. Elizabeth reveals how people can "count it all joy" in hard times by understanding trials are not punishment; realizing God's grace is sufficient; and trusting Him to use everything for His plan. Readers are reminded that God is in control, and in Him they will find help, hope, and meaning.
