Description
Do you often feel that God drops you into situations for reasons you don't understand? Then shake hands with Jeremiah, a man who lived most of his life with those same feelings. Jeremiah was thrust into a job he didn't want; he was unsuccessful in his mission; and he complained frequently to God about his problems. This Old Testament prophet found out that God's answers are not always immediate. From this study of Jeremiah's life, you too can learn to turn even your most trying times into spiritual stepping-stones.
