Troubled on Every Side: How God Uses People and Problems to Prepare Us for Ministry and Service
()
About this ebook
Time would fail to try to explain all of the dynamics that are associated with God's preparation process for ministry and service. There is a definite art to how He does it. The only person that can hinder us is ourselves. In the pages of this book, we will discuss how God uses problematic people and situations to prepare us before and during ministry for effective service.
