Troubled Journey

<i>Many times in life we find ourselves in the midst of a troubled journey. Often the trouble is intensely personal even spiritual in nature. At such points we need a guide someone rooted in the solid reality of God's word. As the meditations show John G. Lynch is such a guide.</i><br>Dr. Michael J.
