Troubled Times of Our Lives Will Draw Us Closer to God

Instead of asking "Why, God?" look for purpose of troubles you face

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) April 17, 2008 -- Talk about words having power. When author Rozanna M. Cherry told God if her life were an open book, she could be a better witness for Him, God took her statement literally. He took her up on that offer and decided He wanted her words on paper. In It Gets Better: Things Are Not as They Appear (paperback, 978-1-60477-606-5), the author explains how the troubled times of our lives are only a part of the process that draws us closer to God--so we shouldn't get stuck asking, "Why, God?" Instead, we need only to stop and ask God what the purpose of the troubles we face is. And then life gets better.

The author points to something she calls "in between" times--the duration of time from the beginning of our troubled times until the end of our troubled times. This is actually the time that prolongs our experiencing the "better." In this book, Cherry will share with readers how to shorten their "in between times" and experience the "better" that God has for them.

Says Cherry, "My hope is that this book will encourage a person that although they face challenges in their life there is a better time awaiting them once they gain understanding. I want them to takeaway from this book real life lessons from someone who struggled, but now can say it really does get better. I know that people can get discouraged and get caught in a vicious cycle of despair, but with this book I hope they will give hope one more chance."

Rozanna M. Cherry co-pastors Christ Transforming Ministry with her husband, Bishop William T. Cherry, Jr.
