When Life's a Wreck
Life is full of storms; you cannot live in this fallen world without experiencing them. Sometimes they stretch us to the limit of our faith. In this collection of six sermons, Dan Hayden draws principles from the experience of the apostle Paul on his stormy journey to Rome in Acts 27-28 to help readers deal with thestorms of life. In explaining these principles, Hayden combines stories from his own experience with Paul's own tumultuous journey. He concedes that sometimes bad things happen to good people. But he also maintains that people often create their own problems when they don't pay attention to good advice and to God's Word. As he follows the progress of Paul's journey and imprisonment in Rome, he highlights how God turns calamity into an opportunity to show his grace and provision. Hayden's practical wisdom will help readers endurethe inevitable storms of life.

When Life's a Wreck is a good blend of a biblical narrative, personal anecdotes and practical applications. There's nothing new here: just rich encouragement. The chapters "Sensing the Danger" and "Surviving the Wreck" have been particularly helpful for me. They are full of reminders of who God is and how He turns tragedies into triumphs. Dan Hayden doesn't give "pie-in-the-sky" platitudes and cliche`s, but instead deals with the gravity of the reality that many times awful things DO happen. Yet, he balances them out with the truth that God still sovereignly uses them to work good in those who humble themselves and trust in Him. It's a truth that hits deep for me. Some of the examples seem to be taken directly out from my life and situation. Encouraging and worth your time.

A continual reminder that our daily walk with Christ can only be accomplished when we rely on the truths in GOD's Word rather than our own experiences, feelings and thoughts. There is nothing that GOD cannot accomplish in our live's when we follow the path provided in the biblical promises in GOD's Word. Dan Hayden continually presents these biblical truths in a way that is practical, logical, easily understood and holds true value in living in this hectic world.
