Bruised Knuckles and Other Lessons in Faith - Grant McDowell
- Reflections on Reality from a Mentor's Heart
You might wonder how faith in God relates to anger, sex, disappointment, or being in love. Bruised Knuckles and Other Lessons in Faith challenges the belief that faith is for those who disconnect from reality.

Even so, these everyday matters must integrate with faith if you are to enjoy fulfillment and wholeness. Thirty-one reflections teach principles that will help you manage anger, deal with disappointment, slow down, respond to conflict, take a new look at church, forgive, pray, and grow more emotionally and spiritually healthy. Bruised Knuckles and Other Lessons in Faith will help
