More About This Book

Overview

As Christians, we recognize that life's struggles can bring us strength and peace even if the challenges remain. This means that surviving is more than merely getting through an ordeal - it is being triumphant in spirit, regardless of the outcome. In Amazing Grace for Survivors, you will will witness God's power as He forms and strengthens ordinary people who faced extraordinary circumstances. You will experience the pain in these stories and share the glory of their triumph. In the end, their grace becomes yours, for we are one body in Christ.

In Amazing Grace for Survivors, you will meet: A man with cancer whose fear of dying teaches him how to live, A disabled girl who comes to understand that all life is precious, A woman who fights to adopt her son from Vietnam, and then fears she only brought him home to die, A heartbroken mother that learns to trust that her autistic son is in God's hands, A mother that hunts down her drug-addicted daughter and brings her home.

Jeff is also the creator and principal author of The Great Adventure, a popular Bible study program. He and his wife, Emily, reside in Minnesota with their three daughters.

Matthew Pinto is the author of the best-selling question-and-answer book Did Adam & Eve Have Belly Buttons? (Ascension, 1998), co-author of Did Jesus Have a Last Name?
