The Gospel in Hard Times: Study Guide with Leader's Notes

“The Gospel in Hard Times will absolutely give faith, courage, and endurance through any thorns we may face. You do not have to be in a wheelchair to have a disabled heart. Joni Eareckson Tada is the epitome of living! When one soul, who may have a ‘disabled’ body, puts GO in front of the word disable, it spells GOD IS ABLE. Hard times will always be there, but so will God!”

“With captivating true stories and practical applications, The Gospel in Hard Times facilitates small group discussions that take you quickly to a place of depth. If you’re hurting and looking for answers as to why God would allow you to experience such suffering, this book will be a wise companion on your journey toward healing.”

“We will all suffer in this broken world. We don’t get to opt out of that. But we do get to choose whether we suffer in a redemptive way or a destructive way. I love this study guide because it shows us how to suffer in a redemptive way, just like Joni does. The Gospel in Hard Times takes us into studying the Scriptures directly, where our roots most need to grow deeper in hard times.”

“People who are suffering and those who want to help them will find The Gospel in Hard Times to be a timely resource! This inspiring study illustrates how the power of God’s Word leads to hope. The sweetness of Christ’s presence as a fellow sufferer and the comfort of his people are wonderfully illustrated. People are encouraged to raise hard questions in safe communities that provide purpose, care, and dignity.”
