Life As A Cactus - Paperback

by B. J. Nicol (Author)

Life is hard and getting harder all the time. We face tough challenges each and every day. God knows what we are going through and He has equipped us to be SURVIVORS! This book looks at the cactus and ourselves in how we are able to "Survive and Thrive." The cactus is an interesting plant and this volume will let you in on some of its secrets; how God designed it to live and survive in harsh conditions. Through analogies you will learn how you are able to do the same. God has always intended for us to triumph in trials and be over comers in ordeals. He fashioned us in ways to accomplish that. He has also provided tools for us to use to that end. God wants you to succeed, to be victorious! In reading this book, you will learn how you can do that. B.J. Nicol is a native of Ohio.
