Victory from Adversity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781498484749)

If you're experiencing significant or prolonged adversity in life, whether it be the loss of your job or livelihood, a destructive relationship, a serious or chronic illness, financial challenges, or the death of a loved one, you're not alone. Author Nancy L. Branton has been there, struggling through life with health issues and other hardships. However, Nancy found that through her relationship with the Lord, her adversity could be transformed into hope. As the result of these difficult life experiences and a deeper exploration of her relationship with God, Nancy has created a beautiful devotional to help lighten your own journey through adversity. Woven into it is her love of Scripture, music, nature, and human development, all of which will enable you to heal and grow in the Lord.

Victory from Adversity(TM) takes readers through a colorful twenty-week daily devotional that applies God's truth to the fullness of the human experience, preparing Christians to thrive in adversity. Each month explores one of five core themes, exploring how God cares for us, guards us, gives us hope, guides us, and frees us. For every week of the month, a gift from the Lord is presented, and daily study follows this innovative process:

Day 1 - Uncover God's Gift in the Message
Day 2 - Be Filled with God's Truth via Scriptures
Day 3 - Absorb God's Promises through Songs
Day 4 - See God's Divine Nature in Pictures and Movies
Day 5 - Grasp God in Life through Activities
Day 6 - Embrace God's Gift and Move Forward
Day 7 - Reflect and Pray

Join Nancy on this transformative journey from adversity to healing, hope, and fulfillment in the Lord!

Praise for Victory from Adversity(TM)
"I will be using this book in ministry for the foreseeable future because the author insightfully presents the Christian message of hope in Jesus using practical biblical meditations complemented with Christian music, art, and movies. This approach brings light and life to the application of Scripture, demonstrating the power of God's Word in the richness of the human experience." -- Reverend Nathan Barnes

"This book was a blessing for me. When I read it, I was in the process of recovering from my fifth career burnout, becoming unemployed, not being able to find work, and having to retire. I am a fairly mature Christian, and the book reinforced and affirmed many things in my Christian walk. I appreciated how the book was free of church doctrine, which makes it appeal to any Christian denomination. If you are hurting in some way from life events, whether as a new or mature believer, reading and completing the activities in this book will help lift up or heal you!" -- Pete Lorvick
