This book is about the test that a Christian must go through to get to the purpose God has for you. We must submit to God even when it doesn't feel good and trust Him no matter what it looks like, knowing we walk by faith, not by sight, and take God at His Word. Godly character must be produced in order to be used by God in an extraordinary way. Psalm 119: 71 says, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn Thy statutes," knowing that God uses storms to build this kind of character.
