You don’t have to understand God to trust him. “Just trust me.” Those are the words we often hear in movies just before something bad happens. And yet, we are told to trust God. In a culture where we tend to take control of our own lives, trusting God has become a religious platitude rather than a life-changing attitude. We say it, but do we really mean it? And what does trusting God really look like? Sharon, Mary, and Gwen—the Girlfriends in God ministry team—have been there. They’ve traveled the tough roads of life to discover the peace and power that comes from grabbing the hand of God and trusting his plan. The life stories they share bring laughter and sometimes tears, but always spiritual growth. Each of the 12-week sections concludes with a Bible study guide and journal page, inviting you to lock arms with Sharon, Mary, and Gwen and share with other women in a small group setting or to use individually in your own quiet time.

"I want a stronger and more powerful prayer life. What can I do?" If this is your desire, you're only a short while away from making it a reality! Millions of Christians read wonderful Bible promises and wonder why nothing happens when they pray. They know God loves them, but for some reason their prayers never seem to make it past the ceiling. This condition is widespread and accepted as normal. Yet, from a biblical perspective, it is abnormal for a Christian to routinely not get his or her prayers answered. This is not what we see in the Bible; it is not what we should see in our own lives. It is not going to remain this way in your life!

Neuropsychologist Offers Hope to Those Struggling with Depression As a board-certified neuropsychologist, Dr. Michelle Bengtson sees the devastation of depression. Early on, she practiced the most effective treatments and prescribed them for her clients. But when she experienced depression herself, she found that the treatments she had recommended were lacking. Her experience showed her the missing component in treating depression. In Hope Prevails, Dr. Bengtson writes with deep compassion, blending her training and faith, to offer readers a hope grounded in God's love and grace. She helps readers understand what depression is, how it affects them spiritually, and what, by God's grace, it cannot do. The result is an approach that offers the hope of release, not just the management of symptoms. For those who struggle with depression and those who want to help them, Hope Prevails offers hope for the future.

More than a decade ago, Jerry Sittser prayed for the protection of his family, yet three of his loved ones--his daughter, his wife, and his mother--died in an automobile accident. What went wrong? "Why wasn't my prayer answered?" he asks. "It is no longer an abstract question to me. What should we do and how should we respond when our prayers--prayers that seem right and true and good--go unanswered?" In When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer, Sittser continues exploring the issues he addressed in A Grace Disguised. He asks, "Why doesn't God answer our prayers? What, if anything, can we do about it?" Sittser is intensely committed to exploring the Christian faith, especially when it doesn't seem to "work." In this thoughtful and beautifully written book, he moves beyond easy answers and religious formulas to explore the goodness and greatness of a God who cannot be controlled but can be trusted. When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer takes an honest and probing look at the problem of unanswered prayer. In doing so, it draws us ever deeper into a relationship with the God who is the end of all our prayers, the object of our faith, the one who fulfills our deepest longings.

This book answers several questions that have perplexed people throughout the ages. Why do good people get sick and suffer misfortune? Can prayer help and heal? Is God powerful but not omnipotent? Or, does God have varying answers to prayers. This book suggests that all of us are alive for a reason, to learn and grow spiritually. This growth requires a movement toward faith, love, forgivenes and unity. Positive movement in these areas helps us deal with fear, hate, guilt and inferiority. These psychological problems are also opportunites for growth. As we learn to pray more effectively, we are healed spiritually, psychologically and often physically. We need to look at life as a beautifully unfolding divine plan. If all prayers were answered with instantaneous, miraculous healings, people would not learn to take responsibility for their thoughts, feelings and behavior. They would just turn to God to bail them out or provide selfish gain. Thus, all prayers are answered in a way that can lead to the maturity necessary to pray more effectively. Only God knows the next step in each person''s journey. Our job is to surrender to divine direction, take responsibility for ourselves, and do what we need to do, and accept all results. Prayer leads to maturity, peace and happiness, which in turn leads to more effective prayer.
