Problems—they’re everywhere! It seems like you run into them at every turn, like life is made up of nothing but problems!
What do you do when problems build up and you are beset by them on every side? Is it time to give up? Hide? Run away from problems for the rest of your life?
Here Jay Adams addresses the problems we all face and assures us that there’s no need to run—we can learn to master our problems instead. In fact, children of God should fear problems the least, because we are equipped to handle them the best. We have the example of God, who solved the problem of reconciling sinners to him, and in him are the solutions to all of our problems.
The Resources for Biblical Living booklet series addresses a wide range of practical life issues in a straightforward, down-to-earth, and most of all, biblical manner.

Endorsements
“In this booklet, Jay Adams provides biblical, practical, and straightforward guidance. You would expect nothing less from Jay! He helps you identity and navigate problems that you bring upon yourself as well as those that are brought upon you. He grounds the Christian’s ability to solve problems in the God who solves our problems of sin and suffering through the life, death, and resurrectionof Christ and the giving of the Holy Spirit. From there, he maps out a strategy for using the means of grace (the Bible, prayer, and other believers) to find a clear path to change.”
