A Place Called Down - E-book - ePub

We can come to believe that our walk with God will only be filled with mountaintop experiences, but Dr. Velma Bagby comes to remind us that in fact, God can also order for us A Place Called Down. In her new book, Dr. Velma deviates from relationship-focused topics to bring us into her own testimony of tests, trials and tribulations, to offer insight into the low place. It is not always the workings of evil, sometimes, God allows it because He is maturing us. A place called down is not designed to be fun or easy, by its very nature it can be likened to a refiner's fire.
A fire so hot that it burns away what God cannot use. Such a place of suffering can feel - Isolating. Difficult. Unyielding. Lonely. And more.  Yet, even in the place called down, there are what Dr. Bagby calls rainbow moments where God reminds you of what you already know - He is with you and He has not forgotten you. A place called down is common for us all - the question becomes, what will you do in it and what will you come out of it with? Commit as Dr.
Velma did, to come out of a place called down with something:  maturity, faith, strength, joy. Decide now that you will leave this place of suffering with gifts that only this place can give.
