I found this little book enormously encouraging. Eddie Askew is a very gifted writer who manages to capture the essence of the scriptural passages he uses and apply them in both prose and poetry. Over the years I have read the book numerous times and find that I keep going back to it. Eddie takes a different Bible passage each day, writes a few simple thoughts with real life illustrations about how that passage can be practically applied, and then prays on paper in the form of free verse poetry. He expresses a depth of spiritual insight which shows great understanding, but also shows his own vulnerability by being very open about how life really is, not trying to 'make everything right!' I have been very blessed by his empathetic and honest writing, and found I could really identify with his struggles in living the Christian life, realising that we have a lot in common!
The Christian life is a rich tapestry of experiences, and in this book he focuses on some of the difficulties we face as Christians in our daily walk with God, but the end result is a positive experience as he shares how God has helped him in those difficulties and made His presence felt. I heartily recommend this little book, particularly to those, who as the title suggests, are 'Facing the Storm' of life.

This book is for christians who live ordinary lives and face ordinary struggles. The 30 poems, each with accompanying Bible reading and reflection, are unafraid of expressing doubt and fear but always end up directing the reader gently back to the goodness of God. I am very much using them as a basis for prayer / meditation.
