Book Description
Dealing with the storms of life can wear down even the most resilient person. It is easy to lose your way when you are being battered about. Chelle Lynne tells a compelling and inspiring story about her journey of faith as she cared for her daughter Alyssa who had special needs and eventually died at the age of 3. She lays out a remarkable journey from non-believer to Christian through an amazing little girl who never spoke a word, yet touched so many people. Her journey provides hope for those who feel hopeless and outlines strategies for keeping your faith in times of trouble. The principles discussed can be applied by anyone for any situation if they just remain open to the direction the Lord leads them. While her journey isn't complete, the lord laid a burden on her heart to share her story. Chelle Lynne plays many roles in her life - wife, mother, sister, daughter, Soldier, and friend. She claims her most rewarding role is that of being a child of God. The mother of three children, her greatest challenge came in caring for her daughter Alyssa who was special needs and eventually died at the tender age of 3. Through that experience, she gained a new perspective on faith and now writes and speaks about the experience to help others who may be struggling with difficult times.

Book Description
Life holds serious challenges for all of us, both expected and not. God may not initiate a particular trip into the testing forge, but He will take the opportunity to insert His purpose in it. Like a strong, seasoned blacksmith, He will use the fires of adversity to change us to be conformed to the image of Christ. Going through the heat of adversity's forge will allow us to learn, grow and become equipped to handle our various encounters with those fires of adversity. It's truly a divine refining process, each time, shaping us as fine silver or gold would be, well pleasing to our Heavenly Father. Out of this process comes a stronger determination to take life's trip with Jesus.

Men's conference speaker and bestselling author Steve Farrar takes readers through the Psalms to see how David endured crushing pressure and fiery trials and emerged a great man, shaped by the hand of God. Men facing difficult challenges in life will relate to chapters on Depression, Betrayal, When Your Family Is Falling Apart, Living With a Bad Decision, Living With Your Critics, and When Your Career Is Interrupted. Farrar encouragingly illustrates how David depended on God to overcome the same sins and trials -- still remaining "a man after God's own heart."
