Details: I love Tony's style of writing. It's easy to understand and uplifting, full of encouragement. He is terrific in taking verses out of the Bible and explaining them in everyday language.

Review Summary: quick and powerful read

Details: Tony Evans is my all time favorite preacher. He is so in love with God and his word, and is so funny and uplifting. This book was very helpful to me when I went through a very difficult time due to illness. I especially loved the part about Joseph, the man in the old testament who was betrayed by his brothers and thrown into prison, but about a dozen years later became a powerful leader. What I learned most from this book is that God works in mysterious ways and makes all things beautiul in his time. With him all things are possible, and all things work together for good to those who love him and are called according to his purpose. God cannot forget about his children, even if he does allow pain. He does finish the good work he began in us. What I appreciate too about this book is that it is short and to the point. When you are in pain and tired physically and emotionally, is can be hard to read a long, heavy book. This encouraging and empathizing book is perfect.
Review Summary: Wow! Amazingly uplifting and easy to read. I am revived!

Details: I picked this book up by chance, randomly opened it and began to read and just could not put it down. Anytime I encounter a problem now instead of thinking the worst like I used to I realize that God is up to something great! I have had many hurts and betrayals in my life and this book helped me to understand these events from the proper perspective. I have already seen more victories in my life because of this new perspective and I am certain more will come. Mr. Evans, I will seek out more of your books in the future. God really has used you mightily through this work. Thank you!
