Joseph A. Buonadonna, Sr., Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist

This inspirational book provides expert spiritual strategies and guidance for surviving the “storms of life.” Powerful biblical references will renew strength and resolve in all readers. This book will empower everyone who feels alone during traumatic circumstances to turn to Christ for help. I also recommend this book as a special resource for helpers of all kinds including: ministers, pastoral counselors, concerned friends and family members. The uplifting stories throughout re-affirm the wonderful words of Psalm 46: “God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble.”

None of us are immune from the storms of life. From Within the Storm contains resources to help us not only survive these storms but to flourish in their midst. Byron has given storm-weary people God-inspired, practical, hands-on wisdom for survival and flourishing. In it we are guided from the initial storm warnings through to the storm's aftermath. Read it now and weather-proof your soul.

John Piippo, PhD, Adjunct Professor of Spiritual Formation, Payne Theological Seminary, Wilberforce, Ohio

In an era where many in the church reduce self-care to formulaic claims and chants, Dr. Wess has given us a text which rightly regards the inevitability of storms in the believers life, and the discipline involved in "casting our cares upon God." Biblical, personal and practical, this book guides the reader through the realities of suffering, denying neither the pain of circumstances nor the care of God.  Wess shows well that life is a journey; and that God is faithful during the storm.
