    About this ebook

    No one ever promised life had to be fair, but does it have to hurt so much? Is there any hope that this pain will ever end?

    Wherever Jesus went, he was surrounded by a multitude of hurting peoplefolks that needed someone to care about and for them. He saw them as harassed, scattered sheep in desperate need of a shepherd. To each of us, he has brought hope for deliverance, healing from our sorrows, and forgiveness for our sins.

    Whether we investigate the heartbeat of the Psalmists, the trials of the patriarchs, or the pains of the apostles, we find people who faced the abuse life arbitrarily hurls our way. These saints found healing through their relationship with their God. They wrote fearlessly of their experiences so we might learn from them.

    Secrets of the Blessed takes us on a journey of faith through our pain. There is truly hope for a blessed, happy life when we learn to believe God even when he seems unfair to us. There really are no secrets, but there are nuggets of wisdom we can mine from Gods Word.

    Author

    C. A. Lemaster

    Charles Lemaster writes from the perspective of someone who has been there. In his folksy writing style, he illuminates Bible truth from the viewpoint of personal transparency. He is an alumnus of Cedarville University, Ohio, and a graduate of Appalachian Bible College, West Virginia. He served as a pastor and conference speaker for fourteen years in Ohio and western New York State. Most recently, he leads the Hope Sunday school class in his home church, as well as small-group Bible studies. He regularly conducts worship at a local assisted-living retirement center in Miamisburg, Ohio, and periodically preaches in his home church. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, he has spent almost twenty years learning how to manage his mental illness from a biblical perspective. He describes himself as “one beggar showing other beggars where to find bread.” His burden and desire is to help encourage other folks with bipolar disorder and their families to live blessed lives through their commitment to Christ. He and his wife, Pam, reside in West Carrollton, Ohio.
