Today's Amazing Winter Read - "You'll Get Through This - Hope and Help For Your Turbulent Times"

Author: Jeuel Pavitt  Date Posted:18 August 2021 

In the world we are living in right now, people are crying out and asking the question "is there any hope in all of this?" Well, the answer is a clear "YES!!!" there is HOPE and that HOPE is found in the person of Jesus Christ. Over 2000 years ago, Jesus died on a cruel cross and then 3 days later rose again conquering death and the grave. And when you put your trust in Him, you have HOPE for now and all eternity.

That is the premise of this book, it's a book that will encourage you to understand, that no matter how turbulent the times, HOPE can be found in the person of Jesus Christ.

Description: Though these unprecedented and challenging times may bring a load of uncertainty and fear that feels too heavy to bear, God gives us this promise: You’ll get through this.

In You'll Get Through This, pastor and New York Times bestselling author, Max Lucado offers sweet assurance, "Deliverance is to the Bible what jazz music is to Mardi Gras: bold, brassy, and everywhere." Whether you find yourself in the pit of financial downturn, job loss, health crisis, or relationship stresses, God has a plan and a pathway forward for you.

Max reminds readers God doesn't promise that getting through trials will be quick or painless. That certainly wasn’t the case for Joseph who was tossed in a pit by his brothers, sold into slavery, wrongfully imprisoned, forgotten and dismissed, but God ultimately used the intended evil against Joseph for a greater purpose.

In this book, Max will help you:

  • Find comfort that you are God’s child and God cares deeply for you.

  • Remember that God is near you and has never left you.

  • Take courage that God will restore even the most painful circumstances and use them for good.

With the compassion of a pastor, the heart of a storyteller, and the joy of one who has seen what God can do, Max explores the story of Joseph and the truth of Genesis 50:20. What Satan intends for evil, God redeems for good.

Teaching Ministry of Max Lucado

In 1991, Max Lucado was presented the idea of developing a radio broadcast that focused solely on Jesus Christ. As a result, the vision for UpWords Ministries was born. Since that time, 'UpWords, with Max Lucado' has changed from a 15 minute, daily feature to an inspirational one minute message. Today, UpWords is heard in over fourteen hundred radio markets around the world.

Along with the inspirational radio program, UpWords provides a comprehensive library of full-length CDs as well as many downloadable audio files of Max's weekly sermons delivered to his home church in San Antonio, Texas.

UpWords exists for the sole purpose of encouraging others to take one step closer to Jesus Christ. The staff of UpWords is prayerfully dedicated to this purpose and is constantly humbled to see God's hand at work.
