Summary

A book full of concrete tools to help your faith survive the long and difficult situations of "life on the Jagged Edge"! Living with the constant threat of terrorism, an unstable economy, rampant crime, unforeseen circumstances and the stress of this high pace society, people need to know that it is possible to do more than merely survive life. With God's power and direction, they can thrive in the midst of what ever is thrown their way. Thriving on the Jagged Edge is about experiencing God's best in life's toughest situations. A natural follow-up to Max Davis' Desperate Dependence, this book helps the reader discover that while we can't always choose what life will hand us, we can choose the way we will respond. And the way we respond will affect our future. God can turn our difficulty around and work it for our good - if we let Him. Davis inspires the reader, reminding them that it's on the jagged edge of need that inventions are developed. It's on the jagged edge of tribulation that heroes are made and opportunity for ministry comes. And it's on the jagged edge that miracles happen and God does His greatest work in us.
