Lisa Whittle will inspire you to see the hardships in your own life as opportunities to discover your purpose in God's perfect plan.

"In this world you will have trouble," Jesus says to his disciples in John's Gospel. It's not an if statement, but a when statement. Hard times come in this life, and some of us may even wonder how God's plan could work for our good...But Jesus immediately follows with these words: "But take heart! I have overcome the world."

The Hard Good Study Guide is for anyone who wants to take heart, who wants Jesus to be their present reality as much as their future hope. This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:

• The study guide itself—with discussion and reflection questions, Bible reading, video notes, and a leader's guide.
• An individual access code to stream all six video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!).

This six-session video Bible study (video streaming included) is focused on two kings: David and Saul. Their lives went down very different roads, and one of their greatest differences was in how they handled hardship and how they trusted God with their lives. As you take the "hard good" road, you'll learn to:

• Accept things you wish were different.
• Apologize and forgive first.
• Give up the now for the best.
• Cheer for someone who has what you want.
• Open your heart, even when it's been hurt.

At our very core is the desire to be God's people—faithful, fulfilling the potential God created in us. To reach that point, sometimes we must endure hard things, things God has designed for our ultimate good, to shape us into the people he wants us to be. When we choose to accept the "hard good," in faith we discover our life's purpose.
