Faith Refined--Holding on When Life is Falling Apart Marilee Donivan

Everything you count on suddenly shifts. What do you do when unwelcome changes reshape your life? In the confusion and uncertainty you desperately want something to hold onto for stability and hope. The author's experiences of losses and miracles, disillusionment and hope, depression and joy ring with authenticity. So does her faith, which weathers spiritual attacks and ragged emotions in this riveting true story. Her powerful real-life examples encourage and fortify faith. You will be inspired to press on and experience God's amazing love in new ways. Readers of FAITH REFINED asked for discussion questions to use in Book Clubs and Bible studies. This second edition answers the call. The compelling narrative is a worthwhile journey through trials, questions, and victories with updates since the first printing. Conversation Starters in each chapter invite reflection and meaningful conversation about experiences and beliefs. Readers use them to nourish their own personal spiritual growth and find mutual support in group settings. "Though the path is shadowy and your vision is obscured, God lovingly accompanies you in your stumbling steps--to stretch your faith, heal your broken heart, restore your joy, and ultimately crown you with victory."
