Recorded Books Inc. - Overwhelmed by God and Not Your Troubles

PRAISE FOR
OVERWHELMED BY GOD
AND NOT YOUR TROUBLES

In his latest book Overwhelmed by God and Not Your Troubles, Steve takes us where few would want to goto the end of ourselvesto discover the overwhelming goodness and greatness of our God and His plans for our lives. Birthed from personal experiences and ongoing suffering that left him hanging by faith, waiting upon the Lord, Steve met God in a way only dying to oneself allows. It is a book filled with Bible stories in their context and applied to our everyday lives that will bring you to be overwhelmed by His grace and love and power and might. I highly recommend you sit and read and allow the Lord to Overwhelm you time and again (see Ps. 102:1).

Trust in the Lord with all your heart God tells us in Proverbs 3. Most Christians know this truth, but just how do we do it? What you have here in your hands is more than just another book to stash on some shelf. Youll be overwhelmed with the nuts-and-bolts, the tools on how to trust the God you serve. Like drinking from a divine fire hose, is this masterful use of the Word.

As an architect, Ive spent my life designing various types of buildings that fit my clients needs and desires. The common thread in my work is making sure that the foundation for each building, no matter the style, is strong, fortified and solid. Steve Mays is a spiritual architectmaking sure that all whom he reaches out to stand strong on the solid foundation of Gods Word. In Overwhelmed by God and Not Your Troubles, Steve reminds Christians that the overwhelming problems we face in life should not be our primary focus and concern, but instead we should turn to the foundation of our lifeGodand allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by His goodness, love, mercy and grace. I believe this book is a must read for all of us who find ourselves overwhelmed with the problems and cares of this world.

Pastor Steve Mays helps us understand how to exchange being overwhelmed by trying circumstances, challenging trials, difficult news and bad days, with an other-world kind of overwhelming. He shows us that when God overwhelms us with who He is and what He does, the troubles that normally overwhelm us wont overwhelm us anymore. Read this book and be overwhelmed with God instead of your troubles and difficult circumstances!

In a world without solid answers to difficult questions, without truth and substance in its perceptions, Overwhelmed by God and Not Your Troubles is a refreshing stream of godly wisdom. Thats because its source is not just theory or theological correctness. It flows, I believe, from Steves journey with the Lord through more surgeries than most of us will ever have visits to the dentist. Through personal heartache and long periods of convalescing, Steve has garnered the grace and sustaining strength of God and His Word and put it onto the page. Great job, my friend. I hope to take the correspondence course.

A surfer gets caught in a set, goes over-the-falls and finds himself tumbling over and over in the riptide. Suddenly his world is nothing but turbulence, chaos and suffocating confusion. In times like that, the wise surfer will grab the leash that connects him to his board and follow it to the surface. For Christians, Scripture is the leash that puts our world into perspective and allows us to fill our lungs with fresh, clean air. In Overwhelmed by God and Not Your Troubles, my friend Steve Mays helps you tie on the leash, so to speak, so youll be able to find the right perspective when circumstances overtake you.

As Pastor Steves son, I have personally witnessed my father struggle with his physical condition and understand how an individual in his situation could feel completely overwhelmed. However, his trust in and understanding of Gods love allowed him to conquer these challenges and to provide a great example of how God can overwhelm the overwhelmed. Definitely a must read for anyone facing difficult times in their life or struggling to yield to the Spirit of God.

Steve Mays doesnt follow the trend of many writers by choosing the trendy themes that skirt the most difficult problems in life. His personal experiences enable him to explore the human dilemma and conflicts in living. Overwhelmed by God and Not Your Troubles
