This is my second book that I’ve read by the author. I enjoyed reading it.

Honest personal story plus lots of biblical teaching on perspective when life doesn’t follow your desires. Sometimes felt long in the preaching sections and the girlfriend talk. But overall helpful support when life happens.

A friend referred this book to me as I walk my journey of grief after losing my 24 year old son. I found it to be very helpful.

I’ve read some of Lysa’s other work, but none of it compares to this. THIS is phenomenal. Incredible. I sobbed my way through this book. It is more real & painful than anything she’s ever written. It’s relatable & her vulnerability breaks down walls & pain in other people’s lives. What a blessing for her to have written this. Wow.

This book is so good! First off, I liked that Lysa was writing this while she was experiencing such unknown and heartache (not that I liked that she endured any of what she faced) but it made it more real, more like a conversation. She shares her struggles, confusion, frustration, fear, and doubt that we can all sympathize with when we deal with things that we believe shouldn’t be happening, to us let alone at all. As the book progresses, each chapter takes a specific focus and Lysa just fills the pages with powerful truth - God’s Word and His revelations to her. I loved the vulnerability and authenticity, which mirrors her book Uninvited. As someone who has been experiencing plenty of my own “this shouldn’t be happening” circumstances over the past several years, this book brought me much comfort. It confirms the reality that I am not alone in the trials of life and spoke truth back into my weary soul that although I’ve spoken it to myself, sometimes there’s great power in hearing (or reading) it from someone else. Thank you Lysa for this amazing and much needed book!

I love Lysa TerKeurst’s writing, but this one is probably my favorite. She was very vulnerable in this book and shared many of the personal things she has gone through. This book is relatable and isn’t sugar coated. It is instead honest and Biblical.
