5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another great book by WWW, February 11, 2006

This review is from: The Bumps Are What You Climb On: Encouragement for Difficult Days (Paperback)

His books have been in my collection of favorites for years. I ordered this one months ago and have been reading a chapter once a week as an extra devotional. He uses scripture to parallel life experiences and balances it out with encouragement for all sorts of perils in this walk of faith we all take daily. This book is a pick me up when I have had a troubling day. Its a dash of salt when I have missed my communion with God on rushed days. You don't just sit down at an empty table with this book. WWW brings you to the table where he seats you next to Christ and you are in absolute communion with the Lord Most high. Great literature for anyone regardless of where their walk is with Christ.

This review is from: Bumps Are What You Climb on (Paperback)

Orginal copyrighted in 1980, this book is now in its 28th printing. Contains 30 different messages of encouragment that were orginally used on a late night radio program from Moody Church, Chicago.

I'm going to use this as a resource for our church's 18 support groups.

This review is from: Bumps Are What You Climb On, The: Encouragement for Difficult Days (Mass Market Paperback)

Over the years since I received a copy of this book in 1983 as I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I have given away numerous copies because I felt the other person needed it. I
t is the only book I know that encourages without "happy get all better" stuff. Some diseases or situations really cannot be expected to have a happy ending, but that is when encouragement is most needed. If I could give it 10 stars--I would.
