Book: Finding Stability in Times of Change

Finding Stability in Times of Change by Richard Frost. Endulini Publishing..

There are many concepts in the world today that are widely debated but one that many people are likely to agree on is that life is full of change. Change is something that impacts each and every one of us every single day and while some change is positive, some is unfortunately negative and while some types of change can bring many benefits, some types of change can generate fear and uncertainty.

In the book Finding Stability in Times of Change, Richard Frost examines the concept of change from several different perspectives acknowledging that change is part of life and reminding the reader in many different ways throughout the book that God is always present through all types of change. The book is one that provides the reader with many opportunities for reflection and thought provoking suggestions for how stability can be found through God. The book does not seek to lead the reader into thinking that all change is filled with happiness and that change is not something that will not continue but it offers a range of suggestions and tips centred around the concept of not being afraid.

With reference throughout the book to the miracle of the calming of the storm at sea Richard Frost explores through scripture and the reflections of a variety of individuals how different types storms in life can and have been navigated in different ways by different people. Finding stability in times of both positive and negative change can be filled with many different challenges and emotions. The reflections of the lived experiences of different individuals included in this book are very powerful and the references from a number of different writers help to make a number of key points clear and accessible to the reader.

While the book as a whole is interesting, enjoyable and thought provoking, for me chapter 7 was extremely powerful. In Chapter 7 the author explores how Jesus found stability in his time on earth and is a useful reminder to us all that like us, Jesus had human flesh and faced his own times of change.

Change has and will continue to impact us all, this helpful and practical book provides hints, tips and reflections throughout that can help the reader to find stability in an ever changing and increasingly stressful and complex world. A book that can be read at a pace that suits the reader it is accessible to a wide audience, rooted in scripture and reminds us all that change is part of life and that seeking different forms of stability might not be as hard as it sounds.
