These are the difficult questions that crisis brings. This book addresses these questions by introducing us to biblical character who themselves faced crisis: Jonah, Jacob, Daniel, and others. Each chapter helps us better understand how we can grow through crisis. Here is a book of wisdom for those who are currently facing crisis or wanting to prepare themselves for the future.
