From Grief to Victory: Looking for a Pony in the Manure Pile

The long season of trouble began in the summer of 2009 for career police officer Rick Palmer. It came with a forewarning that hinted at some of the series of losses the next half decade would bring... Those loved and trusted most inflicted the most pain--the wife of his youth, the church he served, trusted friends--in the bad dream that was no bad dream but a real time of abandonment, darkness, stormy emotions, and uncertainty. Through it all, Rick persevered by the grace of God and enjoyed indescribable victory through a time of heartache as he relied on the comfort and power available to all those who seek God's face in a season of trouble.
