You Can Trust God to Write Your Story: Embracing the Mysteries of Providence, Hardcover

WHAT'S GOD DOING IN YOUR STORY?

Our kids beg us for stories at bedtime or while we drive; we gather around firepits and dinner tables to tell and retell our favorite tales--the more dramatic the better. But when it comes to our actual lives, we prefer something less sensational, even boring--sunny skies and smooth sailing, please and thank you. We want our own stories to be predictable, safe, controllable, and catastrophe-free.

When plans fall apart, jobs are lost, kids wander off, doctors give bad reports, we often wonder, "What are you doing, God? Are you sure you have this under control? It doesn't really seem like it right now."

God is the master Storyteller. He's writing your story and it's a part of His bigger, grander, eternal Story. But we're still in the middle. We haven't gotten to the happy ending yet, and it can be hard to trust Him in the thick of our struggles. That's why Robert and Nancy share their own story, friends' stories, and the stories of people in the Bible who have faced life-altering challenges, but, in the end, have found God to be faithful. Learn why you really can trust God to write your story--no matter what plot twists you may encounter along the way.

-Randy Alcorn, author of Heaven, Giving is the Good Life, and Deception

"You Can Trust God to Write Your Story is an amazing book whose title says it all. For if you are a follower of Jesus, every day of your life--whether you feel like it or not--is weighted with kingdom purpose, eternal significance, and a royal destiny filled with joy and contentment. Let my dear friends, Robert and Nancy, help you embrace the mysteries of the Lord's Providence. For when it comes to happy endings, you can't find a better Author than the God of the Bible. Happy endings are His forte--turn the page, trust Him, and discover it for yourself."

-Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center

"No story ever told could compare to God's great Story. None is as compelling, transforming, or hope-giving. And your story is a part of it."
