Go With The Flow James H Tracy

Where is God when times are tough? That is one of the biggest questions surrounding Christianity. If God made the world, how can it be filled with such inexplicable badness? On a personal level, why do Christians go through dark times? If someone is faithful to God, shouldn't God deliver them out of their hardship? James is a devoted Christian and a kayak enthusiast. One year, he made the resolution to paddle as much as he possibly could, trying to achieve a personal record of 500 miles. He had a great plan to push himself to the absolute physical limit through wilderness camping trips. There would be challenges, but James had it all under control. Or so he thought. Unfortunately, that year would also be James' worst, with multiple life-altering problems that were out of his control. Whether it was personal loss, tough times at home or large problems at work, each day was a struggle. Throwing in the towel on 500 miles would have been fair. Despite the hard times, James found that it was also a year where God's presence had never felt closer. Go With the Flow is a collection of stories from that brutal year where he learned that God's promises ring true; both out in the wilderness and in the hardship of daily life. It is the tale of one man learning to not just survive, but thrive in the middle of life's storms. This book is a yearlong journal of moments where God showed up, both on and off the water. Where is God when times are tough? With you, always.
