Rating:  Summary: Inspiring Reading Review: "In order to trust God we must view our adverse circumstances through eyes of faith, not our senses," we're told in the first few pages of this wonderful book. Chuck Swindoll goes on to tell us how to do that. He describes people who reflect a quiet, peaceful calm as being those individuals who have cultivated a perfect trust in God. Such a mindset liberates one to be the distinctive person God intended.Swindoll writes from a profoundly deep perspective. Only an author who has been tested himself could write the following: "God has trusted each of us with our own set of unfair circumstances and unexplained experiences to deal with. Can we still trust in Him even if He never tell us why?" He goes on to answer the question he posed by saying, "..it's good simply because God Himself has allowed it. Acceptance is resting in God's goodness." Job of the Old Testament is used to illustrate complete acceptance of God's will. Job trusted God totally, although he did not understand what was occurring in his life. Read the section on worry. He offers five problems associated with it that enable you to see its deceptive powers. He also helps you to overcome it. I strongly recommend this book. It will deepen your relationship with God if you read it with the proper mindset.

Rating:  Summary: Great book Review: A friend sent me this book while I was "waiting" on a pretty major thing in my life. This book helped me to put it all into perspective. This is a great book for anyone who is struggling with big questions of "Why?" in their life.

Rating:  Summary: Everyone needs to read this book. Review: For anyone who needs just a little encouragement in their lives (and who doesn't), this book is for them. It is simply put, only the way Charles Swindoll can. It also makes a great gift for any friend going through life's seasons.
Rating:  Summary: Perfect Trust is Perfect Inspiration Review: This book is a favorite. I keep it in my nightstand and often read a chapter at night to encourage me and put things in perspective. Chapters are short and can be read in a few minutes, but contain wonderful Biblical truths that you will find yourself meditating on long after you close the cover. I've read Perfect Trust through a dozen times and have given away many copies. It has helped me deal with all kinds of crisis. It is so comforting and would be a good gift for anyone going through a difficult time in their life. We all need to be reminded that God is loving, sovereign, and has our best interest in mind.
