Summary

No matter what the problem, God doesn't leave us without hope or help. The Bible is richly relevant when it comes to the difficult dilemmas we all face. Within these 50 chapters you will find spiritual wisdom and compassionate counsel on even the hardest issues, such as... anger & adultery, alcohol & drug abuse, codependency & cults, depression & divorce, fear & phobias, guilt & grief, rejection & rape, self-worth & suicide. The guidance in this handbook is grounded in Scripture, which-when used properly-has the power to pull us out of life's ditches and put us on the road to inner freedom and fulfillment. These spiritual truths have proven to be life-changing for those who have listened to June Hunt's commonsense counsel.
