Because life includes major blows to heart, head, health, faith, finances, and relationships, WHAM! Facing Life's Heavy Hits: Thirteen New Testament Encounters offers a fresh and focused look at 13 familiar stories and lives. WHAM! invites exploration of ways the journeys of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Mary, John the Baptizer, the man born blind (John 9), Pilate, Peter, Paul, Barnabus, the Philippian Jailer, Euodia and Syntyche, Philemon, the church in Laodicea, and Jesus can equip believers to deal with life's chief challenges. This book promotes pervasive interaction with Scripture that honors God and welcomes His daily help. Each chapter includes discussion questions appropriate for either individual or group use. WHAM! is purposefully brief and fiercely loyal to the principle that less is often more.
