review 1: "As Silver Refined" is a Christian Living book about how God uses even the bad things in your life to further His purpose of making you more like Christ (if you'll let Him). I've read several books on this subject, like "Hearing Jesus Speak into Your Sorrow" by Nancy Guthrie, which I felt explained many of the same truths in fewer, more powerful words. However, different writing styles can sometimes speak to different people, so I'm always happy to see a book that points people to the Scriptures for truth and healing.She made some good points and told some touching stories to underline her points. Overall, I'd recommend this book, though maybe not as much as some of the other books on this same topic that I've reviewed.
review 2: Life doesn’t always go as pla... morenned and as Kay Arthur acknowledges in “As Silver Refined”, we will face disappointments along the way. As Christians, we are tested throughout our lives and often do not know why. It could be to show how far we’ve come in our Christian faith and our walk with God. It could be for reasons we simply won’t know in this life. The most important part of these trials is how we respond to them. Reacting in a godly fashion to trials can be a ministry to others. Throughout the book, Arthur offers biblical suggestions for responding to failure, regrets, and stresses. In our response, we’re to submit to God and what He allows in our lives even when we don’t understand why something is happening. The bottom line is that He is God and we are not. If we respond by rebelling or looking outside of His will, we open the door for Satan. We can get through our trials by spending more time focusing on God rather than our circumstances. When we live in light of eternity, we know that nothing matters but our relationship with Him and our trials are only temporary. We’re to put our hope in the future, not this life. The study guide included with the book helps the reader face disappointments, learn meekness, believe God’s sovereignty, and find courage, joy, and hope. This book is a valuable resource for independent or group study. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. less
