Detours abound on our way to the Promised Land. Like the Israelites in the wilderness, at times we find ourselves lost on our journey, without food, and desperate for water. Author and popular speaker Jeanne Zornes takes a humorous and poignant look at the tough times of life through the stories of people who have faced insurmountable obstacles--the athlete who contracted polio, the wife whose husband abandoned the family--and she shows how God can use rocky roads to bring us closer to Him.

Questions and Bible study suggestions at the end of each chapter make this encouraging book perfect for both personal study and small-group discussion.

Jeanne Zornes has published seven books and her articles have appeared in such periodicals as Moody Magazine, Today's Christian Woman, Christian Parenting, and Power for Living. When she is not on the road speaking, Zornes hangs her hat in Wenatchee, Washington with her husband and two children.
