This book is about trials and sorrows, but it is also about happiness, blessings, and perspective. Using personal experiences, stories, scriptural references and other examples, Elaine Cannon here discusses why adversity is necessary and how we benefit from it. She explains how to stop crying, how to feel hopeful again, how to cope with things that cannot be changed, how to understand the uses of adversity and how to flourish despite trials.
