Good Question

In Preaching Biblical Wisdom in a Self-Help Society Alyce McKenzie writes:

I bumped into an acquaintance from church recently browsing in the self-help section of the local Barnes and Nobles bookstore. She was scanning book spines with titles I wish I’d thought of like Getting Over Getting Older, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, Pulling Your Own Strings You’ll See It When you Believe It, and Manifest Your Destiny. She was holding a half-dozen copies of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff: And It’s All Small Stuff. ” I give this to everyone I know when they have milestones in their lives, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, ” she enthused.

What about other events that are milestones, though not happy ones? What about the death of a child, a parent fading away from a debilitating disease, or the kidnapping and murder of a youth? They are not small stuff! What can we read to help us as we “sweat the big stuff?”
