Free Audiobook – Trusting God by Jerry Bridges

Trusting God – Every asked “Why is God allowing this?” or “What have I done wrong?”
When unexpected situations arise that appear unjust, irrational, or even dreadful, we feel confused and frustrated. And before long, we begin to doubt God’s concern for us or His control over our lives. Adversity is hard to endure and can even be harder to understand. If God were really in control, why would He allow the tragic auto accident or crucial job loss? How could He permit cancer in a loved one or the death of a child?
In an effort to strengthen his own trust in God during a time of adversity, Jerry Bridges began a lengthy Bible study on the topic of God’s sovereignty. What he learned changed his life, and he now shares the fruit of that study with you in Trusting God.
The Point’s Club Status – URGENT
01 week ago
Hi to all SFU students (non-students you don’t have to read this one 
)
Due to changes made this semester in how the SFSS manages their clubs, all registration for clubs is now conducted online at www.sfss.ca. All potential members are required to confirm their membership by logging into an account linked to this page (Click “Join Club”). Please go as soon as you can to this page, log in with your SFU ID, and confirm your The Point Club membership. Having club status helps us with bookings, advertising and more.
You may have signed up in person at a table or other event, but we ask that you still take a minute and confirm your registration online. We, the club executives, were hoping to add the accounts signed up on paper ourselves and save you the hassle, but there seems to be a problem with SFSS’ system and that ability is not available to us at this moment.
Thank you for your help! Help us keep our club status by quickly signing up here. It only takes a minutes!
