NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Find hope and assurance in God's faithfulness when it feels like your world is crumbling.

New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst invites you into her own journey, amid heart-shattering circumstances, and shows you how to live assured when life doesn't turn out how you expected.

What do you do when God's timing seems questionable, His lack of intervention hurtful, and His promises doubtful?

Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned, and we quietly start to wonder about the reality of God's goodness. Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God.

In It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, Lysa invites you into her own journey of faith and, with grit, vulnerability, and honest humor, helps you to see your life in the context of God's bigger story. Whether you're dealing with daily disappointments or life-altering loss, you can find unexpected strength as you learn what it means to wrestle well between your faith and your feelings. With refreshing honesty and deep encouragement, Lysa will help you to:

• Stop being pulled into the anxiety of disappointment by discovering how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations. • Train yourself to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so you can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes. • Discover the secret of being steadfast and not panicking when God actually does give you more than you can handle. • Shift your suspicion that God is cruel or unfair to the biblical assurance that God is protecting and preparing you. • Know how to encourage a friend and help her navigate hard realities with real help from God's truth.

Disappointments are an inevitable part of life, but they don't have to be the end of the story. In fact, they are often what must happen for something new to begin. It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, offers you a safe guide, fresh biblical insight, and a reorienting perspective to help you rediscover God's faithfulness and renew your strength when it feels like the world is crumbling all around you.
