Go "storm chasing" through the pages of the greatest Book ever written What storm has blown into your circumstances? Are you--or someone you love--suffering from the trauma of plans that have been washed away, relationships that have been uprooted, or security that has been devastated? Many believers have been known to ask, "God, where are You in this storm?" or, "Lord, did You send this storm into my life?" Just what does a believer do during a stormy season? StormProof: Weathering Life's Tough Times tackles these and other tumultuous questions. Author Carol McLeod is a storm survivor--more than that, a victor--over infertility, depression, and cancer. She understands the spiritual, emotional, and physical challenges of the trials we face in our lives. A gifted Bible teacher, she provides "life preservers" of hope and faith through the eternal, practical wisdom found only in God's Word. By examining key storms in the Bible, and the lives of those affected by them, Carol guides you to uncommon comfort for your own storms, offering the shelter of hope, joy, and faith. In StormProof, you will step out of the boat to walk the waves with Peter, knowing that Jesus always comes to be with you in the midst of your storms; you will be rocked aboard a wind-driven ship with the apostle Paul, in danger of being smashed against the rocks, but be preserved by God's power; you will watch the gathering storm clouds with Noah, holding on to faith in God's purposes. You will also experience Jonah's self-inflicted tempest while affirming God's unconditional love, sit in silence with Job and ponder his questions about the greatest storm of testing, and huddle with the disciples as their boat is swamped by surging waves--only to hear Jesus's eternal words, "Peace, be still." You will also hear about storms of harsh circumstances that others from recent history have encountered and overcome. Storms are common in every season of life. Yet, for a believer in Christ, the damage such storms cause can be contained, depending on how we navigate their tumultuous waves. There is a way--a triumphant way--to encounter the fierce gales of life and then exit the tempests with strength and resilience. There is a definitive way to walk through the most devastating of circumstantial tornadoes and emerge with grace, empowered for the future. There is a way to be StormProof.

Every single one of us with a beating heart has spoken words "under the influence" of warped feelings and slurred thinking. And we soon wish we had the magical power to take those words back. We especially regret the hurtful words we have spoken to those
