About The Book :

Experience the love of God today In Finding God When You Need Him Most,

"Chip Ingram's book calls us back to the
Psalms to help us remember that God is our 'strong tower,' sufficient
for every need. It turns out that--in the midst of those crises that
life offers us regularly--our job is simply to get closer to the One who
welcomes us back into intimate fellowship day by day."--Hugh O.
Maclellan Jr., president, Maclellan Foundation

heart in a transparent and authentic way. This book has the potential to
change your belief system which will ultimately change your feelings
and behavior. I am privileged to offer an endorsement for a very
relevant book."--Ron Blue, president, Christian Financial Professionals
Network



"In a world obsessed with personal strength and power, Chip
Ingram brings home a surprising yet profound truth . . . that weakness
is often a prelude to unusual and significant strength. Read this and
you might just embrace moments of weakness as a friend!"--Joe Stowell,

My Review :

Change of any kind is stressful. Multiply it by ten and life can seem more than overwhelming. Such was my state of mind when I signed on to read and review Finding God When You Need Him by Chip Ingram.



Every Christian struggles with the right way to respond to life's difficulties, but one of the hardest struggles for me are those times when you wonder if God has forgotten your address. This book addresses those hard times with chapters on finding God: When You Get a Raw Deal, In Times of Crisis, When You Feel like a Nobody Going Nowhere, When You Are Troubled and Depressed, When You Are Gripped by Fear, When You've Blown It Big Time, and In Times of  Confusion. Then Ingram ties it up with the final chapter, God Is with You Always.



Chock full of scripture, life stories and application, the author helps the reader through the difficulties of life. There are also questions for discussion, which would make this a great book club/Bible study read.



I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it, especially if you find yourself in a desperate place in need of our mighty God.
