Hope in the Hard Places: How to Survive When Your World Feels Out of Control, (Paperback)

If you have entered into trying times, or are walking alongside someone who is, I would strongly recommend this book. Honestly, if you haven't been through something like that, I would still recommend it. It is full of practical information and advice, many things I would not have even considered. Better to think of these things when you are not in crisis-mode, if you can help it. Sarah Beckman brings a lot of experience with difficult times, not only personally but as someone who has watched friends and family go through those challenges. For those of us that don't always know how to respond to people during times of crisis, I was grateful for her suggestions on what to say in difference situations. I really appreciated how she used Scripture to back up her ideas. I also enjoyed reading the real-life examples that were shared by her, her friends, and those she interviewed in preparation for this book. It was a well-written, easy read. Not to be missed! I am so thankful that I received an advance copy of the book from the publisher!
