This review is from: A Bend In The Road Finding God When Your World Caves In (Hardcover)

This book is a blessing to read for everyone but most especially for anyone currently going through any trials in their life. This is a book that when you read it you want to share it with everyone you come in contact with and the list just keeps growing of who should read this! This book is very enjoyable to read and you want to keep reading it. Everyone faces some point int their life when they feel they've come to the end of the road and they just can't go any further but he reminds us that God sees the full view that we can not see and he can tell that it's merely a bend in the road.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comforting Book!, April 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: A Bend In The Road Finding God When Your World Caves In (Hardcover)

This book is awesome. I read the book while going through some personal problems related to stress, anxiety and depression. This book brought tremendous comfort to me and reassured me that I was never alone...God was and is always there! Reading about the highs and lows of David and relating it to your everyday life is what David Jeremiah does best. He is an excellent writer and a Godly man. Read it and you won't be disappointed.

This review is from: A Bend In The Road: Experiencing God When Your World Caves In (Paperback)

This book was given to me when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I am already looking forward to my second reading. Dr. Jeremiah beautifully weaves personal stories throughout that illustrate in a real way many of the Psalms he includes and writes about. An excellent gift for those of us whose roads are not always straight.
