Synopsis:

It doesn't take too much living before we realize that life never goes quite the way we want it to. But when things get hard and we don't understand what God is doing, what is our first impulse? Is it to resist him and run away like Jonah? Or is it to trust him even while trembling in fear of suffering like Habbakuk?

In this powerful exploration of God's often mysterious and counterintuitive ways, Dr. Larry Crabb challenges readers to seize the opportunities for growth and maturity that come our way when we experience troubles and failures. Rather than pushing back against adversity, he invites us to look closer at what God is doing in our lives when it feels like he is far from us. Unpacking the stories of two very different prophets, Crabb lights the way to a life of resting in the goodness of a God who is always working out his plan for our lives.

My Rating: 

It has taken me 6 glorious months to read this book and I am glad I took my time and did not rush through reading this book. This was my first read from Dr. Larry Crabb and it blew my mind! I did about 2-3 chapters a day and had to read slower than I normally do.

This book was packed with so much insight on who God is and how He works for His purpose. I loved how this book dove deep into questions that many of us believers tend to want to ask, but don't speak out loud. I loved them so much as they forced me to really take time and speak with God personally.

Each chapter bore some really amazing information. The focus was on Jonah, Saul (before he became Paul) and Habakkuk. I loved how it went into depth on trembling before God and the cross roads of either: denying, distorting and trusting.

Do I recommend this? YES! I highly recommend this. It will make you check your own faith and understanding of God, how He works and who He truly is. This has definitely strengthened my faith and helped me understand so much more with my walk.

Phenomenal read!
