Everyone on earth experiences storms in life. These storms bring upheaval to our everyday lives and may be good or bad. Man seems adequate to deal with moments that bring him joy - the birth of a child, a marriage or a huge promotion. Yet, moments that challenge us have the ability to destroy our lives - the death of a child, divorce or loss of a job that leads to destruction of the family. How we respond to these events depends on who we listen to. If we rely on secular culture, we'll often receive counsel like, "get tough" or "time will heal all wounds."

Everyone on earth experiences storms in life. These storms bring upheaval to our everyday lives and may be good or bad. Man seems adequate to deal with moments that bring him joy - the birth of a child, a marriage or a huge promotion. Yet, moments that challenge us have the ability to destroy our lives - the death of a child, divorce or loss of a job that leads to destruction of the family. How we respond to these events depends on who we listen to. If we rely on secular culture, we'll often receive counsel like, "get tough" or "time will heal all wounds." I'm especially fond of the counter-punching strategy, "don't let the bastards win." I think I've even said that one. No doubt using these strategies is the reason that modern secular culture suffers from a high divorce rate, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and countless health problems that result from our inability to deal constructively with stress. We make life so difficult when we try to do "crisis management" by ourselves. This approach is espoused in one of Frank Sinatra's most famous songs. "Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way." It is the way that secular culture tells us to deal with our worst storms, but it is not the only way.

Autorenporträt
Are we not best defined by our relationships? Roger Blanton is a husband to his wife, a father to his sons, a friend to his neighbors, a brother to his church family, and a caregiver to those in need of receiving. That is who I am today, but that was not always so. Although raised in a "born again" family, I rebelled and by the age of 18 was entering adult hood as an agnostic. Don't we all have great powers of perception at the age of 18? For the next forty plus years, I lived, worked and raised my family as an agnostic. As the title of the famous Frank Sinatra tune says, I did things "My Way". I succeeded in marketing and managing high tech products, doing ventures with leading communications companies, some mergers and acquisitions, and even a stint as a real estate broker. Six years ago all of my life changed when a family crises led me back to the Lord. His words in my ear, led me to write this book.
