Before science espoused it, the Bible confirmed it: Chaos forms the very framework of life. Whether it demolishes ones life or appears in less dramatic forms - interruptions, inconveniences, or surprises- chaos is everywhere.

In this fascinating book, Linda McGinn comes to a surprising and unconventional conclusion about disorder and how to cope with it. Instead of fearing the chaotic reality of life, she says, you can learn to accept and embrace it. McGinn writes, Your relationship with chaos will determine whether you live in joy and peace or turmoil and bitterness.

McGinn points out the flaws of the two major strategies people use to manage chaos: structuring, or trying to control every conceivable eventuality; and blindness, hiding from it by pretending it isnt there. She helps readers respond to chaos through simple, effective ways. Those who fear the unknown, the out-of-control, and the disorderly will learn to view chaos in a whole new way as they begin Dancing in the Storm.

Review:

If you are looking for practical, honest, real-life ways to deal with a fallen world, this book is your book. Its chaos for all of us sometimes. The next time its that way for you, make sure you have Linda McGinns book on hand. Youll be glad! -- Steve Brown, Bible teacher, Key Life; professor, Reformed Theological Seminary

In times like these "volatile, hectic, threatening" a more appropriate and welcome book would be hard to imagine. Dancing in the Storm, with its promising subtitle, Hope in the Midst of Chaos, is comforting, encouraging, and beautifully written. Linda McGinn points the way to genuine inner peace - right in the midst of the turmoil of contemporary living - through an abiding faith in the sovereignty and righteousness of God, the Father of the Prince of Peace. Excellent reading for right now. -- D. James Kennedy, Ph.D., senior minister, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church
