I would like a copy simply because you guys are giving it away. no really, it sounds good and I've seen alot of quotes from this book around so I would like to read it.

Thanks for this great post Stephen and on my birthday too no less!

What encourages me in the midst of trials is God's truth. He knows all my days even before I was born and nothing that happens is outside of his plan for my life. He is my Father who sacrificially gave His Son for me so that I would know God as Father. And finally, although trials come in all forms and can be brief or life-long, He is for me and not against me because of His great love towards me.
