Contrary to what most of us have been taught, we aren’t here to merely be born into a random family, survive childhood, escape our teenage years without major injury, and then it’s off to the world to be successful.

Christians have just as many problems as anyone else. Financial concerns, marital discord, illness, loneliness, church splits: you name it, Christians have them. That's discouraging, and sometimes we compound these problems by imagining that problems are God's punishment for our past misdeeds.

In Problems, God's Presence, and Prayer, Michael Wells shows how you can experience the joy of a closer walk with God.
