Do circumstances control you? Do you worry about your next move, feel overworked, miss deadlines, or find yourself unsure what to do next? Life is full of problems that bring us down. As Christians, however, we know that Jesus overcame the world, and that by his power at work within us we can as well. Wayne Mack writes for the believer who holds that truth and still finds the weight of discouragement heavier than the promise.

Mack is a veteran biblical counselor, and the book is direct and practical: it identifies the patterns of thought that sustain discouragement, sets the relevant Scripture against them, and gives specific things to do rather than general encouragement. Short enough to be read in a difficult week and structured for use in counseling. Part of P&R's Strength for Life series.
