Advancing Through Adversity: Rediscover God's Faithfulness Through Difficult Times

By Charles F. Stanley

Book Overview

Why does God allow adversity?

God has a plan and a purpose for each of us, and He can turn things to good regardless of the situation we face. These two key principles--rooted in Scripture and seen in the lives of Christians throughout the ages--should color the lenses through which all followers of Christ view adversity.

In Advancing Through Adversity, Dr. Charles Stanley provides a new perspective on the trials we face, revealing what questions to ask and what lessons can be learned from such times. Understanding God's role and bolstering our courage can help us advance through adversity rather than be overcome by it.

With over 1 million copies sold, the Charles F. Stanley Bible Study Series is a unique approach to Bible study, incorporating biblical truth, personal insights, emotional responses, and a call to action.

Each study draws on Dr. Stanley's many years of teaching the guiding principles found in God's Word, showing how we can apply them in practical ways to every situation we face. This edition of the series has been completely revised and updated and includes two brand-new lessons from Dr. Stanley.

Overview: A brief look at what is covered in the lesson.Life's Questions: A teaching from Dr. Stanley that unpacks the topic of the lesson.Living the Principle: Application and Bible study questions based on the key points.Reflection: Key takeaways to put into practice today and tomorrow.

Customer Reviews

"More a study guide, but you won't be disappointed!"

As with all Dr. Stanley's works, this one is excellent! It is more of a study guide than a self-help book. Nevertheless, the book is grounded in scripture and replete with examples! Right up there with 'Mizraim Principles' on what we can all learn through God's discipline! Also recommended: 'The Mizraim Principles', 'With Joseph in the University of Adversity'

"God Has A Purpose..."

'God Has A Purpose For Everything That Happens To You', is the Introduction to this book that, along with 'Another', may in fact change your life forever. Charles Stanley has been blessed with a powerful Gift from God to teach His Holy Word...that is equaled by "very" few. His 'In Touch' Ministry is indeed IN TOUCH with the Holy Spirit God Himself (Now find out more...).

An excellent study guide

Much like his book How to Handle Adversity, Dr. Stanley gives very insightful advice on how you can use adversity to maximize your spiritual growth, avoid bitterness, and apply lessions learned. Whether you are under the weight of serious adversity right now or not, I would suggest that everybody get a copy of this book.
