LEARNING THROUGH LIFE'S TRIALS
BY LARRY L. RICHMAN
"You can choose to see a trial as a
roadblock or an expressway.
If you see it as a roadblock, it will obstruct your way.
However, if you see it as an expressway, you can use it to learn and grow."
"The gospel of Jesus Christ
is the plan whereby we can become what God wants us to become. In
fact, we become great people because of our trials, not in spite
of them."
BOOK
