The Life God Blesses Weathering The Storms Of Life That Threaten The Soul

Rating:
Summary: A "must read" book for anyone tired of the superficial.
Review: Gordon MacDonald had accomplished in this book a well-written and easily understood guide to building internal strength. Most of us know people who face life changing or perhaps life shattering events with such strength and courage that it puts us to shame. That type of strength does not come automatically. This book points the way to obtaining that type of internal strength that carries us through our "storms of life.". It is encouraging and challenging. I highly recommend it!

Summary: The most impactful book I've ever read!
Review: McDaniel does an excellent job in reminding one on what is important in life, encourages one to think through who you want to become, and inspires one to develop a misson statement. This book was instrumental in preparing me for the "real world" when I was a senior in college, and I have recommended and still recomend the book to anyone who wants to move mountains in life to read it.

Summary: Whatever Storms May Come
Review: The Life God Blesses is a must read. I have been continually challenged to be proactive. I find myself watching for warning signs and making every effort to be prepared for the sudden changes life brings. I have weathered a recent storm that shattered my emotional foundation. The loss of loved one to leukemia was unexpected and sudden. Having read and understood the importance of anchoring down in the midst of adversity kept me from completely backing out of life. I believe this book creates an awareness for those who seem to have things come easy to them. It did for me. I never wanted for much, yet during the storm I found myself needing a new perspective. This book provided that for me. I use many of the teaching principles when speaking in casual conversation. It is an everyday easy read for anyone looking to be prepared before the storm. The question is never will a storm come my way, but when is the storm going to hit. And to the latter, one never knows. It is true that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
