Out of the Storm and Into God’s Arms (Slightly Imperfect)

Endorsements:          

While our world has no shortage of bad things, it does have a shortage of answers to why bad things happen to good people. In Out of the Storm and into God’s Arms, the ancient book of Job comes alive with relevant answers to difficult questions about suffering—bringing personal comfort, giving permanent hope, lifting us to a higher dimension of faith in a loving God.

—Anne Graham Lotz, international Bible teacher and author of Just Give Me Jesus

I must have a case of Job-i-tis because last week felt like a month of stormy days. Thank you, Jill, for reminding me that as long as there is breath in my body, there will be hardship—and hope. Your stories stirred my emotions, and your insights on Job have inspired me to face my storms with greater spiritual clarity and dexterity.

—Patsy Clairmont, author of God Uses Cracked Pots and Stardust on My Pillow

As a mother, career woman and youth pastor’s wife, sometimes I feel as if I’m enduring a number of storms! Jill Briscoe has given us a glimpse of God’s joy through the sorrow and peace within pain. A delightful, useful silver lining for anyone walking through cloudy days.

—Angela Elwell Hunt, author of Loving Someone Else’s Child! and The Tale of Three Trees

With clarity Jill Briscoe relates the events in Job to you and me, and with warmth and understanding she connects Job, his friends, his family, and our God to each of us. Out of the Storm and into God’s Arms is a handbook for anyone who is enduring hardship, be it great or small.

—Lynn Morris, coauthor of Shadows of the Mountains and The Stars for a Light

In her personal and warm style, Jill Briscoe gives an uplifting perspective to help us face our unexplainable sorrows and struggles. She offers refreshing insight to help us apply to our everyday lives the wonderful lessons she uncovers in the story of Job. This is a book for everyone who asks, “Why?” and finds there are few answers. Jill reminds us that where the good news is, there is victory. Jill’s openness and vulnerability are indicative of her life and ministry, and it helps me to know that her walk with God has similar struggles to my own. She has always been a personal role model for me, and I continue to thank God for bringing her gifts and heart across our paths.

—Mary Whelchel, founder of the Christian Working Woman radio ministry

Jill has done it again. This book is solidly biblical, is practical in its application, captures the mind of the reader and convincingly demonstrates the faithfulness of God to bring joy out of suffering.
