Many Christians are facing a mountain in their lives right now that they desperately want, and need, to be moved (let's be honest--mountain ranges, right? ). We lift our eyes to God and cry out in self-pity, "Why God, why? " Marion Grace knows this so well--she has been there many times. She believes most of us have faith and our hearts are sincere before the Lord, but the problem is that we are wielding the wrong sword, beating the air, and tiring ourselves out. The world says to fight for your rights and make sure you are looking after your own interests. What about me; what about me In God's economy there is little room for self-focus. When it's just woe is me; me, me, me you will not get far. In the Bible, the only sword we are told to fight with is the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. God's ways are always opposite the world's and will never seem to make sense to or pamper our flesh and self. Lay down your heavy, war-torn sword and walk with Marion as she casts some light through experience and success on God's amazing plan for winning your battles. This is a book for those who have always suspected, or known, that there is more to this Christian life than just enduring trials with humility for Jesus. It is for those who, like Marion, would rather smash through them in a blaze of glory, triumph, and joy while leaving them in the dust. Mine is a perspective that trials are an empowerment opportunity; the joy of the end result overshadowing any temporary pain. You have a power position that will send the devil running for cover in utter frustration and leave you laughing hilariously. Lets begin. Study guide included
