Ancient writings of saints are often lost in today's world of self-help religious books. But for the saints who have traveled before us, they left a well-marked pathway to discovering a deep, authentic relationship with Jesus--one that reflects the way He lived and how He lived. In this book, authors Eric Sandras and Jason Chatraw take a look at the writings of six saints (St. Francis of Assisi, St. Ambrose of Milan, St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, and St. Catherine of Genoa) and show how their ancient words are still relevant to today's culture hundreds of years after they were first penned. They were mystics (people who sought to experience God daily), mavericks (people who bucked status quo), and miracle workers (people who experienced the supernatural power of God intersecting with the natural). From their well-worn path, we can learn much about faith and becoming the people God wants us to be.

Whether via the collapse of the economy, natural disasters, or unexpected personal tragedies, it seems that millions in our culture are having their faith and confidence shaken to the core. Eric Sandras knows this firsthand. When he lost his dream job and his home thereafter, he thought he was going through a rough patch. Then he had to move away from his family to find work. Then he found out he had cancer. And that wasn't the end of it either. In this honest and gritty approach to crisis and loss, Eric doesn't candy coat struggle nor does he give it more power than it deserves. Instead, he helps readers make room for God to shed a ray of hope, even in the worst of circumstances. Devoid of Christian platitudes and spiritual Band-Aids, When the Sky is Falling gets real about the muck we experience in life -- and how to find purpose in the pain and hope for a new beginning.

When the Sky is Falling

Drop the layers of make-believe nonsense that stunts our spiritual growth. What emerges is a positive alternative to life-crushing counterfeit faiths many of us are trying our best to work through. To do this, men, women, and teens need the vision and encouragement to take the risk and get dangerously real with God. He exposes the naked truth: We need to dress our lives with a real friendship with God and nothing else. • Includes discussion questions
