    About this ebook

    The Study Guide has been specifically designed to aid the reader in directly applying the principles discussed in the text of the main book, Living Through Crises, to his or her own life. The questions are so pointed, so specific, that the principles discussed in the book are not only reinforced but are held forth as a mirror for personal, self-evaluation. It is impossible to discuss the questions without recognizing where you stand spiritually. And these are not random questions. They are formulated to help the reader work his way through each chapter of the book, section by section. The first question asked is this one: List and describe the emotional changes that the author experiences from the time of his sonogram to the time that his doctor explains the necessary surgery. Include those what the author describes explicitly, as well as any that you would imagine he experienced. After this question is dealt with, it is followed by this one: What kind of emotions have you experienced during your trial? And this question is followed by this one: Have you been able to control your emotions? Do you experience peace and hope consistently? All of these questions relate to the author's story which narrates the emotions he experienced when cancer was found on his kidney and the doctor's explanation of how serious it was. Negative emotions and depressing thoughts are all discussed. There is a way out of these kinds of paralyzing experiences, and this Study Guide helps the reader find that path and walk down it. This book is about "living," really living, living with joy, peace, hope, confidence, and purpose in the midst of the most severe trials that can come your way. This "living" is the result of the supernatural life that comes directly from Jesus. It is your "birthright." All you have to do is claim it for yourself through a vibrant faith that trusts Jesus moment by moment. Living this life is beyond satisfying; it is thrilling. Welcome to an extraordinary adventure!

      PRINCIPLE ONE

      Our most pressing need is not more time to work through our trials; our most pressing need is a new life to handle our trials.

      PRINCIPLE TWO

      God will lead us into trials, situations that we do not want to experience, in order to sensitize us to our continuing, natural resistance to his will and to uncover our false pride.

      PRINCIPLE THREE

      God may send us into situations in which we feel estranged from, when in fact, He is ever watching over us.

      PRINCIPLE FIVE

      Being weary physically and emotionally may hinder our spiritual responsiveness.

      PRINCIPLE SIX

      Because of our sinfulness, we will be frightened even at the solution God sends for our troubles.

      PRINCIPLE SEVEN

      Our present reliance on Jesus always will manifest itself in present obedience.

      PRINCIPLE EIGHT

      when we respond to God in the midst of our trials, regardless of the severity of our emotional state, we can begin to have immediately spiritual victory.

      PRINCIPLE NINE

      The same fears and distresses which paralyzed us will return it we take our eyes off Jesus.

      PRINCIPLE TEN

      If we do not respond properly to the trial facing now,
