Book Reviews: Enduring Trials God's Way by Scott LaPierre

Greetings, 

Rating:★★★★★

Description:

Trials are part of life on this side of heaven, and God wants to use them for your good!

"One of the best biblical treatments of suffering I have seen. You want this book in your library!"—Dr. Carlton McLeod: Speaker, author, and senior pastor

The principles in this book will encourage you during tribulations and give you the Christian grief counseling you need. There are many books on suffering, but not many are grounded in the Bible. Pastor Scott LaPierre discusses Christian suffering so believers receive the biblical inspiration they need.

This book is perfect for Christian grief counseling, and each chapter concludes with questions that help you apply what you are reading. You will learn how to:

• Develop the spiritual perspective needed to embrace trials
• Appreciate the maturity trials produce
• Understand the rewards—in this life and the next—for enduring trials
• Recognize God is still compassionate and gracious even during trials
• Persevere through trials that threaten your faith

Your suffering is not meaningless or accidental. God loves you, and He always works in your best interests.

My Review:

Enduring Trials God's Way is a very educational book, but it includes so much more than educational content. This book is an excellent resource for anyone who is looking to understand both the biblical aspect of what it means to endure trials and experience some exceptional personal testimonies from the author and others.

I love the fact that Scott takes the reader from the biblical perspective to a more intimate application of the concept of enduring trials. I love the fact that at the end of each chapter, there are discussion questions that are meant to help the reader apply the message of Scott's book more directly to their personal lives.

This book will prove to be a magnificent resource for a small group Bible study, a college textbook, and even a personal devotional. That is one of the things that I really like about Scott as an author; he has a great sense of wisdom and a desire to actually teach his readers something they can relate to.
