No matter how much people plan, prepare, or prevent, adversity still finds a way to surprise us. Max Davis believes everyone has the ability to turn tragedy into triumph, hurt into happiness, and outrage into outreach. This wonderful book uses old-fashioned values, new-fashioned wisdom, real-life stories of everyday people, and a big dose of faith to help people become problem solvers, not victims. "If you want the techniques to navigate successfully through your life-read this book." (Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul) "[Davis] displays a refreshing combination of honesty, humility, optimism, and faith. This attitude...not only strengthens his credibility as an adviser to the suffering but also sets the book apart; unlike most authors who tackle these topics, Davis yields a book infused with lightness that does not actually make light of the serious topics it covers." (Publishers Weekly) "This book will be of interest to readers who are believers of any faith but also to those who are not believers but are open-minded and curious." (Sunday Advocate, Baton Rouge, LA)
