No matter how much people plan, prepare, or prevent, adversity still finds a way to surprise us. Max Davis believes everyone has the ability to turn tragedy into triumph, hurt into happiness, and outrage into outreach. This wonderful book uses old-fashioned values, new-fashioned wisdom, real-life stories of everyday people, and a big dose of faith to help people become problem solvers, not victims. "If you want the techniques to navigate successfully through your life-read this book. " (Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul) "[Davis] displays a refreshing combination of honesty, humility, optimism, and faith. This attitude. . . not only strengthens his credibility as an adviser to the suffering but also sets the book apart; unlike most authors who tackle these topics, Davis yields a book infused with lightness that does not actually make light of the serious topics it covers. " (Publishers Weekly) "This book will be of interest to readers who are believers of any faith but also to those who are not believers but are open-minded and curious. " (Sunday Advocate, Baton Rouge, LA)
