Is God still doing miracles today? "This book tells the story of how God is still working miracles. It's a miniature modern version of the Israelites escape from Egypt which declares that rescue is still happening!" --Warren Otter, retired pastor of United Methodist Church "We are blessed to know firsthand the heart, love, faith, and compassion of Joseph and Ana Chimbanda. God blessed them in their time of need, and they have never stopped giving back. This book is about miracles and never giving up, a must read." --Tom and Linda Davies, Members of Noblesville First United Methodist Church "Knowing Ana and Joseph Chimbanda and working with them in the United Methodist Church in the Denver metro, I was inspired by their exuberant work of expanding the mission work in our area." --Karen Bueno, retired teacher "The Chimbanda's narrative describes struggles, despair, and other life challenges. Yet though it all their solace was through their faith in Jesus Christ who brought love for all and hope into their hearts so they could conquer every hurtle and make a difference in the lives of all they touched." --W. Michael Ainley, Ph.D.

I'm a hobby woodworker and have been since I was a kid. When I first started working with wood, all my tools were hand-tools: a saw, a hammer, a hand-drill with bits, and a file. Over the years I've collected many tools--both power and hand-tools. I've come to appreciate the unique capabilities of tools like a finishing plane and a biscuit joiner. The spiritual disciplines, or following skills as I like to call them, are much like tools. Some of the more common tools in our walk with Christ are prayer and reading the Bible. But I think many of us are "tool-poor." That is, we're only accustomed to using a few tools in our relationship with Christ. As a result, we're somewhat limited in our overall skills as His followers.Imagine trying to build a nice cabinet with only a hammer and saw.Perseverance is like that tool that no serious woodworker should be without. Yet, as a spiritual discipline, perseverance is all too often absent from our lives. Jesus and the writers of the New Testament all warned us that we would experience hardship and suffering in this life. But, it's so easy to quit; it's so easy to give in.Perseverance is the tool we need for enduring trials and responding to them in a godly manner. We also need perseverance to resist temptation and flee from sin. In Paul's last letter to Timothy he encouraged him, "But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship." (2 Timothy 4:5) You and I need to "Endure hardship, persevere, and hang in there." But some of you may be asking, "Why? Why should I persevere?" That's the question we seek to answer in this book as well as show you how to persevere.

Faced with systematic discrimination in Canada, early Chinese immigrants had little choice but to create their own economic niche. From the turn of the twentieth century through the Second World War, a majority of Canada's Chinese immigrants were laundry workers in towns and cities from coast to coast. Although the hand laundry was not a traditional trade in China, laundry work required little capital, and could be performed despite a lack of familiarity with Western languages and financial systems. The hours were long, the work was physically demanding, and most chinese laundry workers lived a marginal existence - as poignantly evoked in this important new work. With the advent of modern laundry equipment and synthetic fibres in the 1950s, and the aging of the laundrymen themselves, the chinese hand laundry came to an end. To generations of Chinese-Canadians, however, it remains a symbol of hard work, sacrifice and enduring hardship.

Hardship is a word with a basic definition which we all understand, and yet the actual meaning of the word is different for all of us. For some, hardship means driving an older unreliable vehicle which sometimes won't start. For many, hardship means not always having something to eat. Then there are those who experience hardship at a level so difficult and intense, you will only appreciate the true meaning of it if you yourself went through it. Someone who was molested, for example, experienced a pain far more traumatic and intense than anybody else could understand unless they themselves had also gone through a similar experience. The same goes for those who experienced the loss of a child, went through a divorce or walked the road of battling an incurable disease. For those people the word 'hardship' has taken on a whole new meaning. The reality of the pain experienced can be so great it will either make the person or break the person. Life is not about whether you will experience the storms or not. Rather, life is about what you are made of when the storm comes, and how much you are able to grow while you are enduring the storm. Faith, when applied correctly, is the key by which we not only endure hardship but also overcome it. By reading this book you will: * Discover what faith really is * Learn how to activate your faith * Become aware of the things that tend to get us out of faith * Gain new perspective on why we sometimes go through difficult times * Learn how to not only endure but also overcome hardship
