Book Takeaway:

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way,
consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
James 1:2-4

Why the author wrote this book:

Moosed Opportunites is the second book in the Moose Creek Series. In this book, I explored what happens when God allows obstacles to get in our way. Thankfully, because of his grace, we can turn that missed opportunity into a reason to grow.
