How Big Is Your Umbrella?: Weathering The Storms Of Life

"And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock." --Matthew 7: 25, MSG

Packed with Scripture, real-life examples, and stories of the author's own journey through life's downpours, How Big Is Your Umbrella? helps equip us to weather all sorts of storms successfully.
