Industry Reviews
"I am thrilled that Joni has taken the time to address these critical questions. As always, her counsel is both wise and compassionate - full of truth and grace." Dennis Rainey President, FamilyLife--Dennis Rainey, President of FamilyLife "FamilyLife" (9/10/2012 12:00:00 AM)
Joni is at once a student and a teacher. She searches for answers, and then ably guides those who are seeking to understand some of the same difficult questions she has asked about suffering, anger, God's sovereignty and prayer. She is candid about her personal struggles, but addresses each of them by providing biblical illustrations of how God is always present and in control. Through her practical counsel, Joni empowers anyone who has endured painful experiences in life to trust and turn toward God.
