Ready to take an adventurous journey of hope and spiritual growth?'Our journey with Christ begins as a great adventure, but we often find ourselves headed in the wrong direction. Why? Broken dreams, rejection, criticism, and much more can easily pull us off of the road God has us on.A wrong turn can take us onto the path of discouragement. It can also disconnect us from what's beautiful and right. It's comforting to know that God never says the journey is over if you take a wrong exit or a perilous road. He remains with us, redirecting, guiding, and even healing the broken areas in our lives that took us in the opposite direction.This book highlights real-life stories laced with some well-known and a few not-so-familiar Bible characters who experienced major potholes during their journey with God. During the times they felt they'd never again find direction and purpose, God appeared bringing wholeness, restoration, and strength. Divine Redirection is an adventurous journey of hope and spiritual growth. We've all taken wrong turns, searched hopelessly for the right exit, or found ourselves at a dead-end. And even though we're often on the right road, we're actually going the wrong direction. This book is about discovering God's hope and restoration through the wrong turns in our lives.

The Smart Girl’s Guide melds spiritual and practical advice with humor, equipping you to stand up for your faith and really live the Christian walk every day.
