In The Value of the Elements, the author brings to the forefront the reason for some of the tests and trials we face in life. Seeing adversity from God's perspective changes everything! Everything that happens in our life is not a waste, a joke or a trap set up by God to destroy us. Once a believer starts to walk with God, He will face many forms of opposition. The secret is to know when God is working in him or her and to understand that every test is made specifically for the benefit of bringing us into maturity. Most of the things we condemn, are usually the things that bring us into greater fruitfulness in God. Enjoy.
