Take Heart: God Has a Perfect Plan for Your Pain - Softcover

How could a loving God allow such wide-spread and horrible suffering in the world? This familiar and legitimate question begs for an answer by so many. In Take Heart: God’s got a perfect plan for your pain, author John O. Dozier, Jr. opens his heart to not only share the experience of a heart-breaking tragedy, but also the miraculous story of joy and understanding as a result. John offers what he describes as “God’s protocol” for dealing with the unavoidable suffering every human being will experience while living in a broken world. John’s story begins with the news that his father had committed suicide on Christmas night. No doubt, the chain of events that ensued after hearing the heart-shattering news was a miracle direct from God. As John cried out to God three times while kneeling over his mortally wounded father’s body, God answered in the form of three sets of Bible passages. The passages and answers from God were not only the perfect response for John, but they offer a universal application to all of humanity’s need to respond to trials of any kind in the most redemptive way. Take Heart is a providentially power-packed story of tragedy being transformed into triumph. Be prepared to do some challenging heart work to get the question settled. How will you choose to endure the unavoidable suffering of living in a broken world? Will you choose better or bitter?
