When asked how they are doing, it's not unusual for people to reply, "Pretty good, under the circumstances". And yet, living "under the circumstances" can be frustrating, unsatisfying, and even overwhelming existence, So many people feel trapped by the events of life. But do these uncontrollable situations -- whether they're good or bad -- have to determine how life is lived?Judy Hampton insists that Christians don't have to be trapped under the circumstances of life. She illustrates how God uses life's events to bring His light into a dark world. She also demonstrates how God uses specific episodes to reveal areas in an individual's life that don't reflect His character. God uses life's circumstances to conform His children into the image of His Son. With a blend of Scripture and personal anecdotes, Hampton gives readers the tools to change the view of their existing conditions from a purely human perspective to God's perspective. It's a change of view that allows readers to respond appropriately to the challenges life throws their way -- living above the circumstances instead of under them.
