Product Description
Publisher's Description
God's promise of hope doesn't always come easy. We know His words are true, and yet we struggle to endure the trials set before us. We wander far from where He leads, losing sight of Him amid life's distractions, and fail to trust His plans for our future. With this book, J. I. Packer hopes to set before you the certainty that through all the twists and turns you take on life's journey, God is providentially leading you somewhere spectacular. Through the hardships you encounter, the guidance you seek, the holiness you desire, God is there. In the midst of every struggle and pleasure, disappointment and joy, God is with you. By addressing a wide range of topics like these, Packer helps you recognize key biblical principles and make wise decisions. This book shows you how life looks and feels when lived by faith in a sovereign God with sovereign plans. And when you see the many wonders God has intended, you will know that He alone fills your future with hope.

Endorsement
What a great book for today's true believer. This book may have been written in 2001. It is more relevant, with its truths needed more today than when Dr. Packer wrote it. The culture of today, including so many professing believers, is so "me" centered. Our search for identity remains a search for identity through finding it in self. Dr. Packer teaches us that the true believer's identity is "in Christ". He does not walk with us. We walk with Him. If you are having trouble finding yourself or have poor self-image, check out this book. It is Bible-based, Bible-truth.
