"The Sweetness of Trial" Book Reading and Commentary - "Why Bad Things Happen To Good People" - After The Trial Of Faith - Epictetus - Episode 8, Pt 3 - Pgs 102-108

Episode 8, Pt 3 - Pgs 102-108 uses great advice found in the Book of Malachi, on how to gain "understanding" when we face trial. And we learn of the young philosopher, "Epictetus." You probably don't think of the name, Epictetus, when you hear this familiar phrase: "It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters." You thought Zig Ziglar or one of the other famous motivational speakers invented that phrase, but it was, Epictetus. Born way back in 55 A.D., young Epictetus was a Greek philosopher born into slavery, and in need of a crutch to help him walk, yet he did not quit. You will really want to learn more about this man.
