Summary of It's Not Supposed to Be This Way

It's Not Supposed to Be This Way: Finding Unexpected Strength When Disappointments Leave You Shattered by Lysa TerKeurst | Conversation Starters

The New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst is revealing her heart in the midst of shattering circumstances. In her new book It's Not Supposed to Be This Way: Finding Unexpected Strength When Disappointments Leave You Shattered, TerKeurst shows her readers how they can live with assurance even when life does not turn out the way they expected. More often than not, life looks far different from what we hoped and expected. Some events in our lives would simply catch us off guard, but others would completely shatter us. Even Christians would feel disillusioned and disappointed, and we would quietly start wondering about the reality of the goodness of God. Lysa TerKeurst deeply understands how this feels. However, she has also discovered that the disappointments we experience can be the divine appointments that our souls need to have a radical encounter with God. In her book It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, Lysa is inviting her readers into her own difficult journey of faith and, with honesty, vulnerability, grit, and humor, she helps readers to discover how they can better process our unmet expectations and other painful situations. She will also help readers to train themselves to recognize the three strategies that the enemy uses so they can stand strong against them and persevere through all circumstances. In the middle of life’s most difficult storms, they will discover the secret of steadfastness when God gives something that is far more than what we can handle.
