The Blessing of Adversity

Most people see trouble as something negative and seek to avoid it whenever possible. But what if it�s those troubles that actually lead to greater blessing and purpose?

In The Blessing of Adversity, a retired U.S. Navy admiral and the 62nd chaplain of the U.S. Senate distills the wisdom gained from thirty years as a counselor, theologian, and psychologist. Barry Black offers a blueprint for removing the sting of life�s trials, showing us how to let God use our pain for his glory by blessing others�and how that can actually help heal our own pain.

Drawing on Scripture and his own experiences as a counselor and chaplain to some of the most powerful people in the world, Black teaches us how to deal with seasons of God�s apparent silence, offers techniques for staying encouraged in the middle of life�s storms, and shows how to find advantages in adversity.
