Synopsis "In Times of Trouble: Devotional Study for Women (in English)"
As women, we are no strangers to tough times. We all experience hardships in life, whether brought on by circumstances in or out of our control. For all of us, there comes a day when trouble comes knocking on our door. So, what do we do when that time comes? How do we stand and face trouble head-on rather than falling into despair and discouragement? In Times of Trouble: Devotional Study for Women by Kimberlie Blades is an inspiring book which seeks to reach women who are dealing with difficult times in their lives. Full of encouragement and scriptures, Kimberlie discusses how we can look to the Lord in our darkest moments and find peace, joy, and healing despite what we are currently going through. Throughout the book, she shares stories from her own life with readers and shares how the Lord met her where she was, delivering her from her own times of troubles. Inspired to write by her own personal experiences, Kimberlie has taken her pain and, rather than bottling it up, has turned it into a ministry to reach other women. Including reflection questions that can be used individually or in a small group study, this book will help hurting women know that they are not alone in this world and that there is someone there to help them get through this trying time. Kimberlie Blades is a 39-year-old wife and mother of seven children, 3 biological and 4 step-children. She loves God and believes that no one can make it through this life without Jesus Christ. She has three amazing biological children and four amazing stepchildren. Kimberlie was born in Bartow, Florida and grew up in Salt Springs, Florida. She is one of three children. Kimberlie has a younger brother and an older sister. The inspiration for this book came from her life experiences and personal struggles. Kimberlie felt alone and felt like God abandoned her (even though she knew He hadn't). In Kimberlie's struggles with drugs, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and even suicidal thoughts, she knew God was with her. If it was not for Him, Kimberlie would not be here today. Every woman needs to know they are not alone.
