New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst unveils her
heart amid shattering circumstances and shows readers how to live
assured when life doesn't turn out like they expected.
What do you do when God's timing seems questionable, His lack of
intervention hurtful, and His promises doubtful?
Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some
events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us
completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned, and we quietly start
to wonder about the reality of God's goodness.
Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But she's also discovered that
our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to
radically encounter God. In It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, Lysa
invites us into her own journey of faith and, with grit, vulnerability,
and honest humor, helps us to:
- Stop being pulled into the anxiety of disappointment by discovering
how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations.
- Train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so we
can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and
uncertain outcomes.
- Discover the secret of being steadfast and not panicking when God
actually does give us more than we can handle.
- Shift our suspicion that God is cruel or unfair to the biblical
assurance that God is protecting and preparing us.
- Know how to encourage a friend and help her navigate hard realities
with real help from God's truth.
