Chiseled by Trial: Sculpted by God, (Paperback)

The one thing that preeminently differentiates Christianity from all other religions is that God steps into the thick of it with us. We find our deliverance in the middle of our pain, hand-in-hand with God. If we will listen, God will answer the searing questions that invariably arise when we go through life's trials. Few learn to hear God's voice - especially in those places - and far too few come to see how he uses the trials and tests of our lives to mold and shape us. It is in those very places where God takes up his hammer and chisel and sculpts us, where we speak with him and cry out about our hurts, fears and failures that we learn to hear his whispers of love, hope and correction, and where he sculpts us into a people set apart for him. This book is highly inspirational and motivational, and its author keeps bringing personal stories around to how we can apply the lessons learned in our trials to our everyday lives. This book will grab you with its frankness and wisdom, pull you in and keep your attention from beginning to end. Gardiner B. Jones III was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii.
