When God Doesn't Fix It

Sometimes it seems like God must not be listening. Things happen and we ask Him to take care of those things, but nothing happens. He’s distant and instead of a reassuring voice telling us that He is going to deal with our problem, we nothing. God is silent, and we ask if He really cares.

Of course He does care, but as Laura Story, found out, sometimes we don’t get answered the way we expect.  She tells her story, the story of her husband’s devastating illness and a life that took some unexpected turns, in When God Doesn’t Fix It: Lessons You Never Wanted to Learn, Truths You Can’t Live Without. (W Publishing Group, 2015; Laura Story, with Jennifer Schuchmann). 

Sometimes we have to go though some difficult times to learn certain lessons, and many times those lessons are not the ones we want to learn. They are painful, but important lessons in trusting God, and allowing Him to work in our lives. We learn that through our struggles we learn to tell the stories that bring God glory.

This is a moving account of how God can use the most difficult of situations to draw us closer to Him, and how in the midst of sorrow, we come to realize how much God loves us, and that we can trust Him, even during the rough times.

There is an excellent study guide/workbook that can be purchased separately.

I would recommend this book for a study group. Women are more likely to respond to this book than are men
