“As a toolkit for navigating life’s storms, Greg Fish unpacks James 5:7-9, drawing upon the poignancy and humor of his life experiences. Reading these observations is like sitting across the table from Greg at your favorite coffee shop. His conversational tone provides space for readers to engage – being encouraged yet challenged – by reflecting on their own lives.”      
Daniel Fisher, Ph.D., president, Oakdale Christian Academy

“If you love short, witty, and illustrative stories, Greg Fish is a remarkable storyteller. I found myself thinking again and again, ‘This would be a great illustration for a sermon.’  Greg’s book speaks to the heart of what a faithful disciple of Jesus should be: patient, courageous, and grumble free.  I highly recommend it as a great personal read or a small group study.”
Rev. Dr. Tim Ozment, Directing Pastor, First United Methodist Church, Peoria, IL

“Be Patient, Take Courage, Don’t Grumble is a very timely message. People are in the same storm with Covid-19, yet everyone is trying to uniquely navigate its many challenges.  Even though this book isn’t about the pandemic, it gives a practical, personal, and a Biblical approach to facing life’s difficulties. Whether you are disappointed with losing your senior year of high school or college, becoming unemployed, or dealing with sickness or death in your family, this book provides hope as we learn to live out our faith in reacting to life not going our way. I found this work to be an honest reflection in what it will take to get through these challenging times. God is preparing us for something better. Our responsibility is in our perspective. Thank you Greg for encouraging your readers to be patient and to show courage in these uncertain times.”
Dr. Joseph Shimko, Elder in the Free Methodist Church USA, DMin from Asbury Theological Seminary

“Be Patient, Take Courage, Don’t Grumble is surprisingly timely for uncertain days.  Greg Fish uses personal experiences and humor to develop Biblical perspectives to strengthen our faith.  His practical advice is just what we need during very troubling times.”
Dr. Cary Holman, Professor Emeritus, Greenville University

There are many books for those who suffer. This book is for those who come along beside someone who suffers. If you are a follower of Jesus, you will eventually find yourself at the side of someone who is hurting. Greg begins with the compelling story of his wife, Barbara, who struggled with a debilitating illness that led to her death in 2015. Remarkably, she did more with her broken body than many of us do with healthy bodies. Sometimes through tears, and sometimes through laughter, you’ll find the encouragement and hope you need to walk beside others who are hurting.

Discover God’s transformational power to form us into the people we need to be to love and care for the ones we walk with in this life. Each chapter concludes with helpful questions for personal or group study. You’ll also receive a short prayer of blessing as you do the hard things that make a difference.
