Trustful Surrender to the Divine Providence
This book is an easy-read about an important topic. Trustful Surrender to God's will. The book helped me see how God uses personal suffering to guide individuals to conform to His will. It's not easy, going from anger to acceptance. It takes a while. This book is a great guide. I read it, and reread it. I give this book to friends. My Protestant friend told me that it's not a "baby-Chistian" book. It's for mature-Christians.
