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

Goodreads review by Karl

Funny thing here, is that I don’t remember requesting a review copy of this book. I remember seeing it on the list, and thinking that I wasn’t interested. After all anybody who has been around for a while already knows that God's ways rarely make sense. So I was surprised when it showed up on my doo......more

Goodreads review by Nay

Received a copy from the publishers for review. 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 no......more
