Why does God allow adversity?
God has a plan and a purpose for each of us, and He can turn things to
good regardless of the situation we face. These two key
principles--rooted in Scripture and seen in the lives of Christians
throughout the ages--should color the lenses through which all followers
of Christ view adversity.
In Advancing Through Adversity, Dr. Charles Stanley provides a new
perspective on the trials we face, revealing what questions to ask and
what lessons can be learned from such times. Understanding God's role
and bolstering our courage can help us advance through adversity rather
than be overcome by it.
With over 1 million copies sold, the Charles F. Stanley Bible Study
Series is a unique approach to Bible study, incorporating biblical
truth, personal insights, emotional responses, and a call to action.
Each study draws on Dr. Stanley's many years of teaching the guiding
principles found in God's Word, showing how we can apply them in
practical ways to every situation we face. This edition of the series
has been completely revised and updated and includes two brand-new
lessons from Dr. Stanley.
Each of the twelve lessons includes:
- Overview: A brief look at what is covered in the lesson.
- Life's Questions: A teaching from Dr. Stanley that unpacks the topic
of the lesson.
- Living the Principle: Application and Bible study questions based on
the key points.
- Reflection: Key takeaways to put into practice today and tomorrow.
