The Bible is a beautiful story of God’s mercy on a rebellious world. However, sometimes it is difficult to see this beauty in the midst of the ugliness we experience in this world, whether it is from our own sin or that of others.
Thus it is important to remember that God’s beauty is not far off and for others, it is for us in each of our lives. Whether in mundane challenges like getting our household chores done, making life changing decisions about marriage or employment, or in tragic situations like the loss of a loved one.
Here are some books with practical, Biblical teaching to help us work through life’s big and little challenges with faith:
