Volume 38
The latest issue of Hidden Wisdom (Vol. 38, November-December 2000), is currently on it's way to the majority of the subscribers (as of the end of October, 2000). This issue is packed full of encouraging articles -- many of them dear to my own heart -- on dealing with trials and tribulations in our lives. We all will face hard times in life, and it's important that we keep the right perspective, even when things look the blackest. God is still on the throne, and He loves us more than we know! "He knoweth the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold" (Job 23:10).

Everyone who is going through difficulties right now will be blessed by these articles and testimonies! Of course, as always, this issue contains many articles on a variety of other subjects as well.
