Real Stuff: Treading Water in an Empty Pool

Life is good - except you can't stand your job, your daughter won't listen to you, your wife isn't the person you thought you married, and your dog isn't house-trained, even after five years.

Regain hope and purpose in what seems to be your out-of-control life. Tackle disappointment and unease by exploring useful spiritual principles from savvy articles, pop culture, literature, and especially God's Word in the easy-to-understand language of The Message.

Designed for small-group use ( yet just as hospitable for a solo act), studies in the Real Life Stuff for Men series don't demand a seminary-trained leader at the helm. These studeis help participants discover personalized application and offer an accountability system to make sure the changes stick.
