Books like This isn't the life I signed up for by Donna Partow

Bruce Wilkinson’s modern parable shows how to reach God‑intended dreams by overcoming obstacles.

Julianne Grace receives ominous text messages that make her fear for her life, suspecting her abusive ex‑fiancé has killed two people and may target her next. With her only hope being the cool, aloof security specialist Bradley Stone, the pair must uncover the truth while a madman stalks them.

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 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 see our lives in the context of God's bigger story. Whether we're dealing with daily disappointments or life-altering loss, we can find unexpected strength as we learn what it means to wrestle well between our faith and our feelings.
