Do you know some who may feel depressed and do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior? Or, perhaps, you or they are not sure and need the hope the gospel can bring to their despairing hearts which comes in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Then give them this book. We learn in the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 that the son's heart was not ready to turn to God until he had found himself in a terrible situation. Once all his money had been squandered, a famine had devastated the land, and he was starving, he finally looked up to God for help. Often, Christians think that these circumstances are the worst times to bring up the gospel when they are actually the best times. It is these dark moments that God will use to call them to His Son. In His Son Jesus they can find hope as God ushers them into His kingdom. This is one in a series of brief books which present the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are experiencing a major disaster in their lives. It is designed to help them take the first and most important step in handling their problems by receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The first chapter of each book begins by addressing the difficult circumstances they may be facing. The subsequent chapters share the true gospel of Jesus Christ and how it is truly good news in handling their problems now but also the greater problem of judgment in eternity. They will see how salvation in Him is the real solution and first step in their journey to recovery now and an eternity of blessing. Give this book as a gift to your friends, family, co-workers, fellow students, neighbors, and even acquaintances so they can hear the gospel and have a chance to receive the Lord as He calls to them during these critical moments. To aid in this endeavor, there is a personal greeting that you can sign and add comments to in the front of the book to set the stage for further conversation. This will remove any uneasiness that either of you may feel once the book is given. If this is not necessary, simply tear it out.
