George H. Harris

Build a Bridge... and Get over It! George H. Harris

Personal adversity is unavoidable. We live in a fallen world, and evidence of this is found in the challenges that we face in our daily lives. Personal stresses, marital difficulties, emotional trauma, disease, and death seem to meet us at every turn. When personal tragedy strikes, how are we to respond? Why do some people seem to rise above such difficulties while others seem to crumble under life's pressures?

Drawing from his own personal tragedy and the lessons learned in the face of death, Dr. George Harris leads the reader on a journey of hope and encouragement and shows how to turn personal tragedies into a bridge to triumph and strength. As a leading biblical expositor, Dr. Harris's unique insights into Scripture provide a biblical basis -- as well as a practical guide -- for Christians in the face of hard times. George H. Harris has been a pastor for 53 years. He is a native of Arkansas and a graduate of Oachita Baptist University, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, TX, and Luther Rice Seminary in Atlanta, GA. Pastor Harris was pastor of Castle Hills First Baptist Church in San Antonio, TX for 28 years. He presently pastors the First Baptist Church in Kerrville, TX. He is the author of five other books and has served as Adjunct Professor of Preaching at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, as well as at Criswell College in Dallas, TX.
