Everyone faces ups and downs, but learning how to interpret them from a different perspective can help people rethink the obstacles and trials they’ve experienced and see what lessons they can learn. In his pragmatic and thoughtful book “Connecting the Dots: What God is Doing When Life Doesn’t Make Sense,” author Joël Malm helps readers tie different facts and events together to understand the big picture and thus reveal God’s purpose in their personal lives.
Somewhat reminiscent of Rick Warren’s classic, “The Purpose Driven Life,” Mr. Malm’s book uses a different narrative style. His approach is akin to a personal conversation as he weaves his own story into a tale, imparting spiritual insights and biblical wisdom along the way.
