Life can really hurt, and when it does, we are rarely prepared. This Bible-based study guide is intended to inspire your thoughts concerning the "what-ifs" and "now-whats" during life"s difficulties. This guide is intended for the hurting and those who desire to walk beside them. Looking at emotions, choices, and values, we may be surprised how much in common we share, regardless of culture, gender, status, or age. The hurts of life inspire us to reevaluate and set new priorities, grasp understanding, and see the value of life from a different perspective. This guide corresponds with the self-help/inspirational book Dealing with Life when Hurt Happens by C.R. Boonstra and is designed for personal use or group study.
