Russell Harper’s II engrossing book, The Storms of Our Lives: “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8: 31 delves into the various facets of a Christian life, the profundity of the Bible, and what it takes to live in perfect harmony with an all-loving God.
No matter how debilitating a storm in life may be, one may always turn to Jesus Christ, the only one who has the power to thoroughly drive it away. Even under direst circumstances, he overcame great temptation and emerged victorious – a feat all believers should aspire to – despite having lived through the worst possible circumstances. In this book, Harper, author, prayer warrior, and former navy veteran, begins with the lesson that life’s storms eventually work out for the best when they are given up to the Lord. From there, he reveals realities that are hidden in plain sight yet are crucial for believers seeking to strengthen their resolve in life as well as relationship with God.
Harper employs a variety of scriptures and analogies in this book, with a focus on those which have practical applications. He gives a poignant account of how love is all that matters in life, the significance of the Bible’s designation as the living word, and how the Holy Spirit’s intervention and guidance paves the way for a closer relationship between God and humans.
Being a Christian myself, Harper’s epiphany about the question we often ask when things are dark and difficult, “Where is God in all of this?” impressed me. He strikes me as a writer who is enthusiastic about living righteously and who is not afraid to share both his eureka moments and his sorrowful ones. Warm yet firm in tone, he stands out as a unique writer who exhorts readers to live in accordance with God’s plan by listening to His still, quiet voice, reading the Bible regularly, and following it.
Explore The Storms of Our Lives with Harper to learn the importance of God’s declaration that you are in His plan, made possible by His son’s obedience and sacrifice on the cross. With his incisive and inspiring explanations, exaltations, and guidance, you will be equipped to face any challenge or wave in life.
