God Is Gracious: A Devotional To Encourage Walking In His Grace

"I feel so distant from God." "I get so overwhelmed with life!" "I keep hurting the people around me." "I don't have purpose in life anymore." "I had connection with Jesus, but I lost it." These are a few of the comments and questions that have been heard from people who have come into the HOPE Ministries counseling office. Joann also had many of these same questions as she struggled through a journey of depression. Caring individuals walked with her through this dark valley using the Caring For The Heart model of Biblical counseling, founded by John Regier. In this process Joann experienced the grace of God in a variety of ways. She has a passion that people know that they do not need to remain trapped or helpless when the difficulties of life seem to overpower them.This book is designed to offer practical suggestions to resolve issues that might hinder one's relationship with God, themselves, and with others. It is designed to be an encouragement to believers who are on a journey of enriching their lives. There is hope for change in the areas that hinder relationships because God is gracious. These principles helped Joann understand a personal Jesus and enjoy life once again. Her desire is that this book will point individuals to Jesus, who is a Friend, Shepherd, Comforter, Healer, and the Author of LIFE.
