Weathering the Storm


Book Description

Resilience enables us not only to survive adversity, but to be transformed by it. This book offers simple and proven strategies to develop resilience that will be of enormous benefit to anyone who is yearning to feel more peaceful and prepared. Coast Guard veteran, interfaith chaplain, and pastor Tracy Mehr-Muska shares the stories of her own struggles with self-esteem, sexual assault, and miscarriage that inspired her to research resilience and to enthusiastically reach this conclusion: resilience is not something that is inborn, but instead is a set of characteristics we can cultivate. Mehr-Muska brings these characteristics to life using inspirational secular and multifaith stories, as well as compelling scientific evidence. She ties each chapter together with an uplifting story of a personal friend that bravely and gracefully overcame obstacles and embodies each of these essential characteristics. Weathering the Storm also poses insightful questions for reflection and offers concrete strategies for implementation that can be used individually or in group contexts such as faith communities, families, and therapeutic relationships. Just as we practice fire drills before a fire happens, this book will help us be better equipped for the eventual storms of life so we can live with greater peace and preparedness.

Bishop provides guidance for enduring the storms of life while keeping faith intact and experiencing growth at the same time. Using his family's encounters riding out Hurricane Isabel in eastern North Carolina in September of 2003, Bishop discusses storm at sea passages from the Bible and relays principles for preparing, finding peace, finding power, and rethinking our priorities in the storms that come our way.Providing encouragement and simple lessons, Weathering the Storms of Life weaves scriptural insights and the threads of modern-day life to help you not only survive the tough times in your life, but learn from them as well."

Weathering Storms


Book Description

In the Crucible of Crisis. . . Weathering Storms is a book born out of the author’s personal experience and his witness of the crisis experiences of others. Some have faced unimaginable stressors in life that seem meaningless and cruel. Consequently, one’s psychology and theology may bend to the breaking point. Further to this, life’s storms seem to amplify God’s silence. Yet there is never a time when the Master of the wind and waves is more attentive. Weathering Storms probes these dynamics in depth. Your crisis experience will end. And when it does you will never be the same. But the person you become after arriving on the other side of the storm is reborn with new strength, insight, and wisdom. You will never want to go back to the person you once were, that is, if you walk the journey and weather the storm.
