Book excerpt: Have you ever had a time when your life changed drastically? A diagnosis, a death, a move, a fight, or like me, a phone call? Every one of us will have a time in our lives when we look around and wonder what happened.When a phone call changed my life, I looked to the book of Job. I found Job sitting in the ashes, scraping himself with a potsherd, yet never wavering in his hope, his faith. How did he do that? How did he get through one of the most devastating days you could imagine without giving up? How can we build that kind of hope even in the good times?I believe that the answers are found in the book of Job. In the first section we will study how Job built his hope before he ever needed it and how that foundation carried him through. In the second section we study how Job kept his hope in the middle of sitting in the ashes of his destroyed life. In section three, we see the lessons that Job learned from his devastation.Join me as we learn these important lessons from God's Word on how to build and maintain hope that can outlast even the ashes.
