A wonderful story of how the author's life was transformed by finding faith in Christ and learning to praise God in all circumstances.
" Miracles, Power and Victory will all be part of what God does in our lives when we learn to rejoice in all things" he promises!

Heavy charismatic and pentacostal elements, with a prosperity gospel smell to the whole thing.

I don't recommend this book to anyone. I will be throwing my copy in the trash.

I read this years ago. The prisoners in the institution I worked in found it helpful. Some of them did. I thought Carothers oversimplified things but the idea that we should always be thankful is totally right.

Merlin Carothers describes how his life was transformed by finding faith, and in this text he uses stories from his own experience to encourage the praising of God in all circumstances.
