Stumbling Blocks
Anne Calver, Gavin CalverPaperback 2012-07-20
Publisher Description
Getting through the tough stuff. You see a friend suffer. Leaders and churches let you down. Your prayers fall flat. Maybe your dad died. How do you have faith through these things? Gavin and Anne have faced their own challenges. They struggled to conceive - and then their second child needed thirteen blood transfusions. Every day their work brings them into contact with hurting young people. They don't have all the answers, but they demonstrate that it is possible to meet the questions head-on and go on growing. "Gavin and Anne have chosen to make living for Jesus the most important thing in their lives. This honest book is born out of experience and shaped by encounters with people who struggle. If you want a quick-fix consumer faith don't bother to read it. But if you are seeking genuine answers, this book is a real find." - Ian Coffey, Director of Leadership Training, Moorlands College "Gavin and Anne have emerged stronger, more compassionate and more focussed as they have allowed their faith to be tested. Their insights and wisdom are set out in this readable and honest book, which we thoroughly recommend to you: get it, read it and live it!" - John and Anne Coles, National Directors, New Wine "What I love most about Gav and Anne is their integrity." - Rachel Gardner, Romance Academy Gavin Calver is the National Director of Youth for Christ and author of Disappointed with Jesus? His wife Anne is a writer and editor.
