Batten down the hatches - we're in for a rough one! It happens all the time. Life seems fine, even tranquil, when - BAM! - out of nowhere comes a storm that threatens to rock your world. Doubt creeps in, and your faith is shaken. But gale-force winds don't have to spell certain defeat. Through Acts 27 - the account of Paul, a prisoner, trapped on the angry seas with his captors - Holly Wagner gives practical guidance to ensure not mere survival, but triumph in the face of a storm. In the midst of the tempest, you need not abandon ship. Instead, Holly invites you to drop your anchors - purpose, courage, focus - and dump the cargo of fear and insecurity that's weighing you down. What storms are you riding out? Whether it's one of your own making or one that life has thrust upon you, "When It Pours, He Reigns" reminds you that, though storms are inevitable, God is still on the throne.--Back cover.

The seas were stormy and perilous as the Apostle Paul, a prisoner, and his fellow passengers headed toward Rome. Tales of their horrifying voyage-and the specific actions they took in order to survive-are the basis for this modern-day "storm survival guide" by Holly Wagner. In her trademark witty style, Holly uses Scripture passages and her own life experiences to deliver humorous yet poignant principles for facing any crisis life throws at you.--Publisher.
