At one time or another, you have probably been able to relate to the sentiment of the old spiritual: "nobody knows the troubles I've seen."But God does know.More than that, he longs to turn your troubles into opportunities for growth, assurance and joy. During times of great struggle or deep loss, God wants to shape your character and bring you comfort.In Defining Moments pastor Rick Ezell takes a fresh look at men and women of the Bible--Solomon, the wisest of kings; Mary, a faithful friend; Daniel, a tenacious teen. All experienced personally God's life-changing love and power. Their stories illustrate how, in one "defining moment," God can redeem obstacles, illness, failure, injustice, temptation and confusion.Chapter by chapter, you will increase your understanding of what God desires to do in your life. You may even come face to face with your own "defining moment," when your crisis becomes God's opportunity to do a mighty work.
