Pastor, conference, counsellor and radio broadcaster, Blaine Smith, has produced this book in the 'earnest hope that God will use these reflections to help you see your life more consistently with the eye of faith.' All the chapters previously appeared as articles in his monthly newsletter over a fifteen year period.

I thought at first that this was to be another 'how to live in confidence and triumph' production. It is, in fact, an encouragement to look at all of life's circumstances with a confidence born of a real working trust that God is causing all things to work together for our good. It is a challenge to think faithfully about our experiences and plans.
