Why do bad things happen?
Is there a purpose when we face a severe trial?
As mortals, we can be compared to ore, such as
gold and silver. Ore that is unrefined is generally impure and
undesirable. Only ore that is crushed -- and then refined by fire --
becomes beautiful, pure, precious and valuable. This book was
written to help you see the results of the Ultimate Refiner, the
Lord, in your own life. Within these pages, people from all walks of
life share their stories of triumph over tragedy. More importantly,
they reveal how they were strengthened as they passed through the
Refiner's fire. They became more precious, and so can you.

"Look for the experiences of vocalist Merrill Osmond, LDS writers
Shirley Bahlmann, Elizabeth Cheever, Willard Boyd Gardner, Tristi
Pinkston, and Candace E. Salima, renowned columnist Muriel Sluyter
and several people across the nation who are ranchers, housewives,
writers in the national market and more.

"Candace E. Salima partnered with Elizabeth Cheever to co-author
this book. They feel very privileged to have been the ones to bring
this story to the world."

~ Merrill Osmond ~
"I would like to share a story that made a real difference in my life and that's made me who I am today. An event that changed my life and became in the end, a story of true celebration. This event taught me things I could have never learned had it not been so painful and overwhelming.
It taught me that a dream that is worth pursuing must be full of trial and heartache or it never
would mean anything when the experience was over. I learned what can be done when faith
accompanies a will to succeed and the power that resides in our relationship to GOD when
the fires of life get really hot."

The year was 1980...

In "Forged in the Refiner's Fire"
Merrill Osmond shares his story of a time
when he truly was put to the test of the
refiner's fire and found that faith was truly
the only way to get through the trials.
