About this ebook

When we have difficult questions, the Bible has answers. Join Rick Warren, pastor and New York Times bestselling author, as he invites us to take a closer look at key biblical figures and the ways in which they faced difficult questions and challenges in their daily lives.

In God's Answers to Life's Difficult Questions, Warren uses stories from scripture to teach us that the Bible is filled with examples of real people who faced the same dilemmas we're facing today. By demonstrating the ways in which God chooses to use ordinary people to accomplish his plans--despite their weaknesses and failures--Warren gives us hope as we take on life's countless challenges. Better yet, Warren provides us with realistic solutions that we can start putting into practice today.

Taking us inside the lives of biblical characters including Moses, Paul, and Jesus himself, Warren gives us a chance to see the up-close-and-personal ways they navigated their own circumstances.

Although God's Answers to Life's Difficult Questions is anchored in timeless stories from scripture, Warren also weaves in modern examples that address the twelve questions he's asked the most as a spiritual leader, including:

• How can I learn to handle discouragement?
• How can I respond better in a crisis?
• How do I become more resilient when I feel like a failure?
• How can I fight my loneliness?
• How is change possible for me?
• How can I lead a more peaceful life?

The concrete, practical insights that Warren shares in God's Answers to Life's Difficult Questions will give you the tools you need to build up your resilience, strengthen your relationship with God, and finally enjoy a life full of lasting purpose, peace, and significance.

Ratings and reviews

I read it twice and I will read again in the future. While I'm reading I see the effort of the author how he insisted of the meaning of God's will me and not just a shallow interpretation. Thank you, Pastor Rick. I've learned a lot.

so practical , was touched, shared the thoughts with others and one of them said"i am a whole diff person since i read those word's from Jesus in how can i cope with stress".

This book got my life back into perspective. Everyone should read!
