This When Life Is Hard Member Book helps participants in the 6-week DVD study learn and apply the Biblical truths taught by James MacDonald in the study, based on his book. He uses examples from his own personal struggles and trials to provide encouragement, hope, and answers to those enduring difficult times and reminds participants of the trials that Jesus faced and how God uses our hard times to refine us. The member book includes five daily assignments for each of the six sessions.
