God's Word, the Bible, is used throughout as support for what he has learned and you will be motivated by the author's life story to find God's peace and purpose for your life too.
Each chapter contains a "Life Lesson," an "Application Question," and a "Trace His Grace" idea to help you apply what you are learning from the author's life story.
