Take a moment and think about your life. What personal trials, disasters, or setbacks have you had to overcome? Were there moments you thought you couldn't possibly persevere through? God gives an example of someone in a similar situation: the prophet Jeremiah. The Book of Jeremiah is quite possibly the best against-all-odds story ever written and can help you see how to overcome your sorrows.
Settle into Jeremiah's narrative with Rev. Dr. Reed Lessing and see how Jeremiah finds hope and joy despite numerous tragedies. You'll see how through God's Word, Hope, Trust, Faith, and more, you can get through anything.
Rev. Dr. R. Reed Lessing serves as a professor of theology and ministry at Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota. He is also the university's director for the Center of Biblical Studies.
