When You Can't Take It Anymore: Living the Hope of James You're at Breaking Point

Nobody schedules a trial. You've been praying about it longer than you ever thought you'd have to. You've been told to have more faith. And somewhere in it you hit the place where you couldn't take it anymore. James wrote to people who were already there. People who were walking down a road, minding their own business, and got blindsided. In When You Can't Take It Anymore, Pastor Brian Overturf walks verse by verse through James 1:2-11 and James 5, the way he first preached it to a congregation carrying things they didn't choose. Inside you'll find: - What God is doing in the fire, and why testing is not the same thing as temptation- What to do with a wrong that nobody else noticed, and why you don't have to be the one who settles the score- How to wait the way a farmer waits, with your hands busy and your heart anchored- What to do when you're too worn down to pray for yourself- Why the prayer you're sure is too weak to matter is the one that moves the hand of God He isn't offering a formula to avoid pain. He's showing you that God uses trials not to crush you but to complete you. Every chapter stands on its own, so you can start where you actually are. If you've been wronged and need to know God saw it, start in Part Two. If you're sick, or worn down to nothing, or waiting on an answer that hasn't come, start in Part Four. He heard the cry you thought went unanswered. Brian Overturf has pastored Arvin Assembly of God in California's San Joaquin Valley for sixteen years. He hosts the AL Pastor podcast. Scripture quotations are from the New King James Version.
