Where do you turn when you need encouragement? When life circumstances become difficult a kind word or gesture can make all the difference. In When the World Takes the Wind Out of Your Sails James W. Moore reminds you of the truth in God's Word, that He is always with you, and will provide the strength you need to face any trial. This edition includes a discussion guide for individual or group study.

In the words of author James W. Moore: When the world takes the wind out of our sails and we feel down and out, we want someone to help us, to reassure us, to encourage us, to deliver us, to save us. We want some word of “good news.” We want someone with love and strength to hold us up and see us through. That is precisely where the Christian faith comes in, and that is precisely what the Christian faith is about. 

Sometimes in this life, the world is going to take the wind out of our sails and knock us flat. But even then, we can be courageous because we know that God is always with us and will see us through. As Christians, we have the sure confidence that nothing, not even death, can separate us from God’s presence, God’s care, God’s strength, God’s love, and God’s victory!   So as we deal with the troubles of this world, may God help us to know the courage and faith and blessed assurance that come only from trust in our Lord and Savior, the One who has overcome the world.  

This book contains a discussion guide.
