Dying To Find My Laughing Place Andrea Gehrett

Have you ever felt alone, hopelessly defeated in your struggle, and no one else understood? Have you believed the lies whispered by darkness? Have you searched for contentment, an internal peace, that satisfies the soul? This story is for you...a story of hope. Its purpose is to affirm that you are not alone, there is power in prayer, and contentment can be found. As much as we dream of living in a fairytale land where tragedy doesn't occur, loss doesn't happen, and hearts never break, it simply isn't the truth of the world in which we live. Life is a struggle, and there is no easy three-step solution to dodging the punches and pain. Accepting these realities is difficult, but there is a silver lining. There is good news. There is hope, and it propels us forward so that we can learn to endure our struggles and be content with our circumstances. Written from a Christian perspective, Andrea Gehrett invites you in to her personal journey and shares experiences like having a special-needs child, divorce, single-parenting, and blending a family. With each challenge she exposes multiple failed attempts to fulfill a thirsty soul. She discovers that it was her faith alone that uplifted her and provided lasting contentment. As an added bonus to her story, each chapter includes questions for group discussion or self-reflection that probe into the core of who you are and what you believe. To complement this self-examination, a series of mini-bible studies are designed to help teach some foundational building blocks of the Christian faith.
