Synopsis

Much of what happens in our lives is not what we planned, not what we expected, and certainly not what we would have chosen.At a young age, Jaci Velasquez’s singing career rocketed to stardom, and her marriage thrived—then both suddenly crashed. Losing her reputation, her record label, and even some of her most-treasured relationships, Jaci began a long, healing journey from thinking of herself not as a Christian music darling or a broken young woman but as a beloved child of God. Today, her renewed faith carries her through a resurrected career, the adventures of a second marriage, and the ups-and-downs of being a mother of a child who has autism.  When God Rescripts Your Life is Jaci’s exploration of the lessons she’s learned living a story full of mistakes and grace, rejection and contentment, worldly success and spiritual rest. Drawing on lessons from biblical characters such as Aaron, Joseph, and Paul, as well as from illustrations from her own life, Jaci reminds us how God loves to rewrite pain and weakness into a glorious tale of redemption. The most difficult parts of life don’t need to be removed; they need to be rescripted.

This book is more than I had hoped it would be. The author captures your attention with her hilarious and relevant stories and then proceeds to top it with truths about God and His Word.

What a fun book. Maybe fun is the wrong word for a different reader, but for me this was fun. It was fun to see behind the curtain on a girl's life who I remember shooting to fame, whose songs my friends and I sang in the backseat of parent's cars driving to volleyball games. It was fun to reminisce......more

Goodreads review by Emily on September 23, 2019

I was one of the young ladies that listened to Jaci Velasquez' music throughout her CCM career, heading out to concerts and following her life. However, by the time she had multi-platinum success and a thriving career, life was turning out to be nothing like she'd expected. A choice to chase after a......more

Goodreads review by Sunshine on October 01, 2019

Talk about a eye-opening, slap in the face, introspective look at perception. Jaci packs a wallop with this book! She starts out describing an eye exam in a most humorous way, then shifts the focus...(See what I did there? You'll understand that sentence once you read the book.) ...to Paul's convers......more
