Summary: A must for anyone who has ever been disappointed with life.
Review: I read this book while enduring a very difficult trial, and I can't begin to express how much this book changed my perspective. It reminded me of how great God truly is, of how much He loves me, and how His grace is sufficient for my life, especially during difficulties. I was reminded that everything that comes into my life first passes through the Lord's "finger's of love". If you are feeling disappointed, discouraged or depressed, read this book and it will refresh your joy and give you the courage to endure whatever comes into your life. Thank you, Kay Arthur, for proclaiming the truth of God!

Summary: Kay Arthur At It Again!
Review: Kay Arthur is a tremendous teacher and this book is even better than her others. The thing I like most about her books is her ability to guide us through the Word without telling us how to believe. I have read the beginning of this book over and over. The part about the potter is so descriptive and real that it had an enormous impact on me. I would highly recommend this book to anyone experiencing difficulty in their life.You will want to read it again and again.

Summary: Facing Trials upon Trials - Read This
Review: Kay sent me this book while I was going through one situation after another. It has totally uplifted me and changed my outlook on the things that keep happening to me. I am able to look as every disappointment as God's appointments. I am able to restore my confidence in God and trust Him because I know He has the whole picture where I can only see part of it.
I never succeeded in reading straight through this book on a daily basis as a Bible study. It seemed God had me read only what I needed on day's I needed but it sure was annointed by the Holy Spirit. I think every person needs this book

Summary: A very encouraging book. It has something for everyone!
Review: Kay, This book was very exciting to me. It was a teaching as well as encouraging. At the time I purchased this book, it was for a fried to help her with her runaway teen. As I began to read it, It blessed me as well. Especially, where you are talking about how God is refining us. I Just love God so much, and want to be the best I can be for him. I would very much like to get in contact with you somehow. If you have your own e-mail address or regular address. I am a Pastors wife and I would like to talk to you regarding books that can help the young Pastors wife. I have been looking for awhile for this. If you can help please e-mail me. I'm looking forward reading your other books as well. Please let me know. Love & Prayers Teresa

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: My Mother-in-law passed away in February 2002. I really did not know where to turn. God seemed so far away. My husband and I decided to join a griefshare group, and Kay Arthur forms part of the videos, sharing her own experiences through her tough times. This book was on the "suggested read" list for griefshare. Although our group did not have this book on the shelf, I decided to go and buy it. (there were many to chose from, but because I am a Precept-upon-precept leader and student (try and find a study goin in your area - it will change you life forever). Well, i never looked back, I just could not put the book down, it helped me through those very dark tunnels, it guided me into seeing that my dissapointment could very well be God's appointments. The book has gone through my ladies book club as well as some of the students within my class. What makes this book brilliant is that God uses it to help us in our deepest pain and this I know because of all of the people that have borrowed my copy and read it - they have gone out to buy their own copy and some have even bought it as a gift for someone who needs encouragement and hope! I thank God for this book!

Summary: Spirtually connected
Review: This teaching has helped me to redefine disappointment. I am endeavouring to look at my life from God's perspective. As a result of this teaching, I am learning to enbrace disappointment as a tool in which God is refining me and developing in me something far greater than I often understand. Depression and disappointment are one of the enemy' greatest tools for plundering the hearts and mind of Gods people. Instead of allowing myself to wallow in disappointment and self pity, I immediately fall at the feet of Jesus and ask him to help me focus on him and what he wants to teach or reveal to me. This has been a very wonderful tool in overcoming the often subtle attack of the enemy to steal my joy.

Furthermore, anything and anyone annointed by God will always produce life bearing fruit.

Thanks Kay Arthur for allowing God to work in you to perform the blessing of teaching us how to stay connected to the source of living water.
