In this book, internationally known author and speaker Jill Briscoe and her daughter, Judy Golz, examine God's Word in light of difficult relationships. Focusing on the biblical account of Hagar and Ishmael, the reader is led through the maze of incredible disappointments, pressures, and even abandonment to a safe place that God has prepared. Written in a personal, conversational style, this book tackles the toughest issues and shows you how God's Word can help you overcome in the midst of trying times. Each chapter concludes with an application section that will help you practice the biblical principles you've learned - either personally or through group study. There are even practical program ideas for your church.
