Are you weary? Worn out by the bills that keep stacking, a virus that keeps raging, or a heart that keeps aching? If so, the book of Esther brings welcome news: Relief will come! To be clear, you didn't ask for this struggle. You want to get past it. You don't know how much longer you can hold up. But what if God is with you in this difficult season? When life seems off the rails, remember this truth: the minute you bow your head to pray is the moment God lifts his hand to help.

Story4 out of 5 stars 43
Harvard Medical School has followed 824 subjects - men and women, some rich, some poor - from their teens to old age. Harvard's George Vaillant now uses these studies - the most complete ever done anywhere in the world - and the subjects' individual histories to illustrate the factors involved in reaching a happy, healthy old age. He explains precisely why some people turn out to be more resilient than others, the complicated effects of marriage and divorce, negative personality changes, and how to live a more fulfilling, satisfying and rewarding life in the later years.

Grateful I found this book!

After reading critical reviews, I still purchased this book and I’m so glad that I did. I’ll be turning 63 this month and love hearing what has brought joy over a lifetime to so many people. In contrast, it’s eye opening to learn what has brought pain and discomfort. I will listen again to it closer taking note.
I feel any person despite race, gender, socioeconomic status, educational background has something to learn from this book if they are looking to learn. I appreciate the time, years and reflection it has taken to put this together. I felt the author was very truthful, open and learned much himself.
I’m blessed to have found it.

Story5 out of 5 stars 383
Now more than ever, we're all weary from the loads we carry and the challenges we face. We have questions we cannot answer and problems we cannot solve. We'd hoped that life would be an invigorating adventure or an inspiring journey. We never expected to grow so tired so quickly. But Max teaches us that we can find fresh strength and purpose in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Bible makes more than a hundred references to the Holy Spirit, and Jesus says more about the Spirit than he does about the church, marriage, finances, and the future. But do we really know the Spirit?
