The Unwanted Gift by Tom Elliff

In The Unwanted Gift: Hearing God in the Midst of Your Struggles, Tom Elliff shares how he and his wife, Jeannie, came to view their toughest challenge as a gift. Through biblical study and reflection on a personal trial, he teaches how to accept that hardships bring life’s greatest measure of God’s grace and power. Our most painful problems, though unwanted, can truly be gifts from God.

Tom Elliff is gifted by the Lord with the ability to teach us biblical truth from the experiences of life. The home-going of his precious Jeannie was filled with lessons he would rather not learn at this time. But in typical Elliff fashion he has put himself aside and uses his experience to teach us all how we should handle, The Unwanted Gift that will surely come our way. Read and be encouraged! --Ted Kersh, Bible Teacher; Equipped By His Word.
