Counting Stars in an Empty Sky: Trusting God's Promises for Your Impossibilities

by Michael Youssef

Overview

When God promised Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky, Abraham was childless. Yet through many obstacles, temptations, and even failures, Abraham became an example of faith as he learned to trust God's promises regardless of circumstances.

In this faith-filled book, Michael Youssef takes you through Abraham's incredible journey of faith, encouraging you to trust God's timing and plan when the road gets difficult. He also shares his own experiences of trusting God in a foreign land and includes reflection questions for you and your small group to pinpoint the ways in which you're trusting—or need to trust—God to keep his promises, even when the way forward seems impossible—even when you can't see the stars.
