About this ebook
Like the apostle Paul, do you have a thorn in your life that just won't go away—no matter how many times you've asked God to remove it? Maybe you're troubled by an estranged relationship, a chronic illness, a difficult marriage, depression, a struggle with an addiction, a past abuse—or even a combination of some of these. Author Mary Ann Froelich suggests that the miraculous exists, even for those who live with unchanged circumstances—those with "less than success" stories. She offers comfort, encouragement, and tangible survival tools for facing unchanged circumstances and fighting the despair that so often accompanies our pain.

Very disappointed that this author quotes from the Jerusalem Bible which refers to God as YHVH, and she writes it as ‘Yahweh.’ We don't even call our earthly fathers by their first name out of respect for them, yet she calls God by His first name! In writing in English to a mostly American readership, why refer to God by a name that is not even pronounceable? This totally detracted from my experience reading the book. Don’t call God ‘Yahweh.’ Call Him “LORD” which is a proper title of respect.
