    About this audiobook

    When we have difficult questions, the Bible has answers. Join Rick Warren, pastor and New York Times bestselling author, as he invites us to take a closer look at key biblical figures and the ways in which they faced difficult questions and challenges in their daily lives.

    In God's Answers to Life's Difficult Questions, Warren uses stories from scripture to teach us that the Bible is filled with examples of real people who faced the same dilemmas we're facing today. By demonstrating the ways in which God chooses to use ordinary people to accomplish his plans--despite their weaknesses and failures--Warren gives us hope as we take on life's countless challenges. Better yet, Warren provides us with realistic solutions that we can start putting into practice today.

    Taking us inside the lives of biblical characters including Moses, Paul, and Jesus himself, Warren gives us a chance to see the up-close-and-personal ways they navigated their own circumstances.

    Although God's Answers to Life's Difficult Questions is anchored in timeless stories from scripture, Warren also weaves in modern examples that address the twelve questions he's asked the most as a spiritual leader, including:

    • How can I learn to handle discouragement?
    • How can I respond better in a crisis?
    • How do I become more resilient when I feel like a failure?
    • How can I fight my loneliness?
    • How is change possible for me?
    • How can I lead a more peaceful life?

     

    The concrete, practical insights that Warren shares in God's Answers to Life's Difficult Questions will give you the tools you need to build up your resilience, strengthen your relationship with God, and finally enjoy a life full of lasting purpose, peace, and significance.

      I'm blessed and want to share this to others too. God bless you more for writing such a God-inspired book. I pray I'll be like you a writer of God someday.
    • 3/5
      I think this book could be very helpful for some people, and it was a good conversation starter in our group. Mr. Warren has some solid advice on handling problems in our lives. I especially like the thought that our character is formed in our every day actions, habits and prayer, then when we are tested, our character is revealed and refined. However, I found some of Mr. Warren's "answers" to be simplistic. Especially the chapter on depression. I am left with an uncomfortable impression that he is using scriptures to fit into what he wants to say, rather than simply looking at the scriptures and working out what they do say. One of his statements, "He (God) knows how you will act in the future, so he's not disappointed when it happens." Huh? This sits very wrong with me, but it would take an essay on predestination, omniscience and the character of God to say why. That's what I mean about feeling uncomfortable with Mr. Warren's writings. Blanket statements like that feel wrong in my spirit, so it puts me on the defense the whole time I'm reading. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but I shudder to think about those who take this man's writings as the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth about God.
