Bricks without Straw

We've all heard, "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade." "Look on the bright side of things," they say. But with their encouragements, we're warned to stifle our hopes because "before it gets better it often gets worse." And while these quotes are helpful to the lost, they do little to help believers understand how any of life's heartaches help them become all that GOD has called them to be. Well, this book is designed to do just that. It was written to inform believers of how misfortune and calamity must be viewed as strawless stepping stones and precursors to spiritual success. It was written to help believers when we are hurting and when life is hardest. It was written to remind believers that we have something to hold on to-hope. With hope, we can weather life's storms. We can stop our complaining, and we can remember the calling GOD has placed on our lives. Like laws written on our hearts and in our minds, this truth, written on paper in a book, hands both hope and the proper understanding of the purpose of calamity to believers.
