Finding God In the Storms of Life

About the Book

A few years ago, while taking a break from my volunteer church duties, I decided to simply seek God. I threw out all I had come to believe and started over. I felt compelled to keep a journal and, as a result, developed an interest in writing. As I felt I was making good progress, God saw fi t to accelerate that progress with an intense storm. It was not pleasant, but in it, I found Him. I had worked for Him, but now I was learning to walk with Him. For the purpose of correcting the market of our souls, God sometimes uses storms to bring us back to Him. The claim you will find in this book is that we have a very real enemy, whose goal is to distract us from God’s best. Hudson Taylor once said, “God does not give us overcoming lives. He gives life to those who overcome.” Though this is not a ‘how-to’ book, in it are the lessons I have learned about how Satan distracts, how God strengthens, and the incredible benefits available to those who learn them.

About the Author

For years I struggled with cravings that were contrary to the new nature I was supposed to have as a Christian. I knew that Jesus came that we might have life, so why didn’t I have it. Why did the old sometimes still appeal? Why did I let it cool the passion I had for God? Why instead, had the new not forced out the old? Had I missed something along the way? I came to point where I had to know. I’m glad I came to that point. Jesus’ words are true; “If anyone is thirsty let him come to me and drink”. I knew what it was like to come to Him; my problem was that I allowed myself to get distracted from coming. When we come to Him, He gives birth to a new nature in us. To the extent that we feed it, it will grow. If we neglect feeding it, it will wither. He really did come that we might have life; He came to give us a new nature. And with that new nature comes a whole ’New Set of Cravings’.
