Publisher Description
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.

"Hey mates! I'm Malakya Clayborne, I love this because they have samples. You can see if you like the book. Books in my opinion are one of the best things. But a sample of a book that cost money is just the best! You can hear what some of the book would be like. One book that stood out to me and that I LOVED the sample on is " It's not supposed to be this way" even though it started on chapter 10, it was truly amazing and dicriptive. Now there's a great book! Also, please don't mind my spelling it's not the best. "

" Was really interested in this audio book. Had rented from library did not finish listening to it when I went ahead and purchased. As I continued listening to it. I was disappointed when she made it to the part about "chips, salsa, and sombreros" and calling such place "cheap" so much encouragement, research, and such truth. To land on that!!! "

" Poorly written and poorly performed. I did not even finish it or get through the first 3 chapters. "

" Great for Bible Study, or to read by yourself. I have the audio book and printed copy. The Audiobook comes with the additional material at the end of each chapter. Listening to the audiobook is rewarding.... "
