How To Live Through A Bad Day: 7 Powerful Insights From Christ's Words On The Cross

By Jack Hayford and Jack W. Hayford

Book Overview

Each of us has experienced bad days, and these bad days are often compounded by our focus on the "badness" of the situation. But Dr. Jack Hayford contends that," in such times the Lord calls us to hear His voice." And so, beginning with seven phrases uttered by Jesus on the cross, he constructs the model for godly behavior while enduring hardship. Insights include: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." To forgive those seeking to injure you is to remove yourself from their control."My God, my God, why have you forsaken Me?" We can ask God the hard questions. "Into Your hands I commit My spirit." Surrender your suffering to God and let go."How to Live Through a Bad Day" is ideal for anyone who has experienced stress, pain, weariness, or an assault of character. Jack Hayford speaks the words of Jesus -- the words of life that sustain and encourage us to live through our worst days.

This Book Gave Me Pause For Thought

I never realized until I read this book how the words of Jesus on the Cross could have such wonderful meaning to me in addition to what they already contain for me. I recommend this book.

The Best of the Best!

The book is deeply insightful and gives practical guidance for living out the Words of Christ on the Cross. No other work compares to this outstanding book --just as no one writer can compare to the author, Pastor Jack Hayford.

Awesome conduit to forgiveness

This book helped me to let go and forgive an injustice that I've been struggling with for two years. The Lord led me to this book and He used it to help me finally let go and forgive, it's the only way to really be able to move on past tragedy...if you're suffering with how to forgive or survive tragedy this book is the perfect place to begin...and end.

Powerful Book

I really loved this book and I intend to read it over many times. Jack Hayford's writing is direct, powerful, and penetrates deep into insights from Jesus' last words' that I had never seen before. This book is not too long (can be read in one sitting), but no words are wasted. This is not a book for those who want just some simple nice words to make you feel good. But is is a book with principles of truth to live by that are worth meditating over. I highly recommend it for anyone.
