Trust the Process: Trust the God of the Process

Perseverance in the Christian life can be grueling and painful. During those times, it can feel hopeless as we hang on to a thread of faith in the God who promises to prosper and not harm us. Pastors Jim and Cheri Garrett remind us that, despite the blows and battering we endure, our Lord is using those trials to make us more into His image. If we continue to hold onto His promises, even sometimes walking blindly but by Faith alone, He will always make something beautiful. He will refine us into the finest gold to be the men and women He wants us to be.Jim and Cheri use concrete illustrations to reiterate these points well, and how—for instance—a lump of coal is made into a beautiful diamond, but only under the harshest of conditions.Indeed, oftentimes there is painIn the process, but this book reminds us not to give up on the brink of a miracle. He has never failed, nor will He ever, and He will make beauty from our ashes and use us in ways we can’t even fathom beforehand.

Highly recommended! Many beautiful truths in here...very encouraging!

I was excited to see that Dr. Jim and Cheri Garrett had written these books. Cheri's devotional has encouraged me to get deeper into God's word. Dr. Jim's book has allowed me to experience and realize that the process of God's plan. To have a deeper understanding of the path I've been on. Thank you Dr. Jim and Cheri for your process.

When we pause to consider how many processes we are a part of daily (and always) it can be pretty shocking. And when these authors link the processes of biblical characters to everyday common occurrences, and processes we go through, it ends up being pretty powerful and insightful. Good reminders of biblical storie; great connection to relevance to my life. GREAT BOOK!

I just finished reading this book—again.Yes, Cheri and I wrote it together —but as I read it for the umpteeenth time, I realize that the truths are more precious now than when we wrote themand they are more applicable to anyone who reads it.Yes, I want you to buy this book—but more so, I want you to apply this book to your life.It is a God-given life changer.J
