    Product Description
    Still reeling from the chaos of Hurricane Katrina—and the death of his grandmother as well as his divorce that same year—former investment broker, minister and first-time author Bruce Smith began to collect his thoughts on faith, survival, and recovery. The electrifying result is "Soul Storm," a carefully crafted narrative utilizing examples from the Bible, art, literature, business and history demonstrating how different people throughout the ages and the world have used disastrous circumstances as a launching point for rebuilding their souls, and reconstructing their lives. Reflecting on his own personal disasters—his step-father’s death at age 27, a back injury which resulted in his sacrifice of a tennis career, his divorce, and other catastrophes—as well as national disasters that affect the country’s spiritual and emotional wellbeing, Smith asks the difficult questions: Is God involved? Is He good? Is He speaking to us through these events? Can any good purpose come from such events?

    "Soul Storm: Finding God Amidst Disaster" is not a typical motivational book. Offering Hurricane Katrina as both a symbol and a practical reference point, Smith taps into the fear we all wrestle with when faced with overwhelming, sudden life changes. Why do these things happen, and how do we begin to recover? Smith’s ability to see God’s bigger plan above the rubble is a gift to all of us, whether we are trying to survive the after effects of a hurricane, an illness, or any type of calamity. As he struggles to unravel the issues of politics, religion, race, psychology, justice, science, compassion, humaneness, love and restoration bound up in this recent disaster, he takes us on a journey that ultimately leads us back to God.

    The book is packaged with an optional CD, "After the Storm," a compilation disc of music and stories of Hurricane Katrina survivors, produced by Music for the Soul, a Christian organization that creates issue-specific CDs combining song and spoken word.

    5 out of 5 stars Inspirational Read   May 4, 2007
    M. Escala (Del Mar, CA United States)
    Bruce Smith takes readers through his life's journey of ups and downs and draws parallels between his personal experiences and the events that so devastated his native New Orleans. His writing gives hope to those who may be going through trials of their own as he clearly shows how God's grace and mercy are evident even in the midst of storms. I highly recommend this book.
