This Wasn't Supposed to Happen to Me: 10 Make-or-Break Choices When Life Steals Your Dreams and Rocks Your World

"By far, the most practical, comprehensive, and spiritual book I have ever read on the process of healing from traumatic events." —Beth Nimmo, mother of Columbine victim Rachel Joy Scott

Learn the ten critical choices necessary for wholeness and recovery after life's tragedies and disappointments.

Blending scientifically-validated psychological truths with spiritual principles, Dr. Beverly Smallwood enables readers to overcome the unexpected and unthinkable. Giving readers a roadmap of ten major choices, she offers hope that no matter what has happened, going forward, we all have the power to choose.

Through the power of choice readers will be able to move from:

- Denial to Reality - Victimhood to Responsibility - Why to How - Doubt to Faith - Bitterness to Forgiveness - Guilt to Self-Forgiveness - Depression to Grief - Avoidance to Courage - Isolation to Connection - Powerlessness to Purpose

"Dr. Smallwood makes it clear in her book that the questions we should be raising in times of adversity are not Why's but How's. She tackles false teachings on faith which lead to the needed steps that should be taken for correct lifestyle choices. This is an excellent resource to keep renewing our minds." —Dr. Charles Stanley, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church of Atlanta; Founder and President, In Touch Ministries
