Book Description
We all have times when we feel lost, we hurt and we find ourselves asking, "Where is God in all of this?" When the road gets rough and we don’t know which way to turn, it can feel like God is so far away. Even when we are not in a crisis, there are times when it seems something is missing. There is an uncomfortable distance between where we are and were we want to be. When you find yourself in that place, you are in a window of opportunity where you can experience God like you never have before; where you can see His supernatural power at work more clearly than when things are going your way. In God Will Make a Way, Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend present eight fascinating and persuasive principles that demonstrate how God enters both the heart-breaking situation and the life looking for more. This book shows how you can apply these eight principles to key areas of your life. And when you do… - Your relationships will be better. Your dreams of growing closer to a loved one, a friend, and to God will materialize. - You’ll have more control over your life. You’ll have better success with setting boundaries, and emotionally, you’ll begin to feel the way you really want to feel. - You’ll satisfy your spiritual hunger. You’ll rediscover the wonder of childlike faith and reconnect with the God you know as loving, accepting, and wanting the best for you. God Will Make a Way is about the often-surprising ways God shows up in our lives and how He addresses our problems in ways we never thought possible.


From the Inside Flap
Life is difficult. Life for every person on earth is a challenging journey – with or without God. Those who invite God to join them on this adventure believe that when bad things happen they can trust God to be present and work on their behalf. But because we never know when, where, or how God is going to show up, we often wonder: Just exactly how does He go about the business of helping us when we don’t know what to do? Henry Cloud and John Townsend believe God has given us instructions on how He makes a way for us when we call on Him. They believe that, just as you would exercise faith in a doctor by following his advice to get well physically, if you follow God’s eight principles in this book, you can thrive relationally, emotionally, and spiritually. These principles offer a groundbreaking new approach to recognizing when God is present and how He works His will in our lives.THE PRINCIPLES OF THE WAY - Begin your journey with God - Choose your traveling companions wisely - Place high value on wisdom - Leave your baggage behind - Own your faults and weaknesses - Embrace problems as gifts - Take life as it comes - Love God with all you are As clinical psychologists, the authors deal daily with real people facing real problems, so this book is not just psychological or biblical theory: In fact, Part II of God Will Make a Way shows the principles at work in twelve key areas of life: dating, marriage, sex, conflict, parenting, fear, lost love, addictions, anger, depression, weight loss, and personal goals. God Will Make a Way is more than a remarkably helpful book. It is a life system that captures God’s wisdom for coping with our most difficult problems.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

God has always made a way for mankind. It's His nature. But many times we think we have to make the way ourselves. It's not until we realize that we really don't know what to do that we are able to hear God's voice. That's when He says, "Why don't we try this My way?" God Will Make A Way is an approach to specific problems in the Christian's life, but more than that, it is a new approach to solving life itself. Drs Cloud and Townsend introduce ten "life principles" and then demonstrate how eighteen real-world dilemmas are solved by their application. The book concludes with a plan to encourage each reader to develop a personal strategy for using these principles to bringabout life changing healing.
