Life-Rails: Holding Fast To God's Promises

Description for LIFE-RAILS: HOLDING FAST TO GOD'S PROMISES by Scott Walker:

As a boy returning from the Philippines with his missionary parents, young Scott Walker learned an unforgettable lesson about life-rails. Once in a sudden gale he found himself being swept helplessly along the deck of their steamship toward the stern---and was able to save himself only by grabbing the ship's sturdy safety rail.

Now this gifted author and minister provides some "life-rails" you can hold onto in the times when you are being swept about by the stormy ups and downs of life.

Here are practical, Bible-based guidelines to help you handle any physical, spiritual or emotional storm. With a fascinating mixture of Biblical insights and experiences from contemporary life, the author shows you how, with God's help, you deal with fears and problems...

*STRESS: It can't (and shouldn't) be avoided, but you can learn to "control" the stresses in your life.

*FEAR: It's a natural, healthy emotion; but you can learn how to keep it from controlling your life by learning to turn your fears over to god.

*DEPRESSION: It comes from repressed fear or anger, grief or guilt. But in God's Word, you can find the strength to sort out and work through the troubled emotions that are holding you back.

There is also sound help for overcoming feelings of helplessness...controlling anger...coming to terms with grief...and more. And even more important, Scott Walker's "life-rails" help you get "past" coping with problems---and into the rich world of spiritual growth. For in each situation, he points out, God provides rich opportunities that can lead you to greater strength.

Here is a positive, upbeat Christian living book that truly helps bridge the gap between faith and real life---a book that will show you the firm foundation of christian values that anchor you to the joyous life God promises!
