Just stumbled across your site – read som e blog entries – thank you for the Godly thoughts and words.
A current Bible study of a few of us ladies is using the book Trust God by Bridges. What a coincidence that your site mentioned it. i love God’s ‘coincidence’ way of blessing us.
Looking forward to exploring more of your site.
Thanks again, Bonnie
Thank you for your kind comments about my blog. Jerry Bridges’ writings have been a great blessing to me. I would suggest starting with *Holiness Day-by-Day.* *Holiness* is a daily devotional for the entire year–the best parts of all Bridges’ works are cited. I pray that your study proves encouraging and faith building. I found *Trusting God Even When Life Hurts* to be great source of spiritual help to me after a major car accident.
Christus Victor,
Glenn
