Resumen del Editor

We all have past experiences we wish we could redo or undo altogether. In Nothing Wasted, counselor and teacher Kasey Van Norman's vulnerability invites you to discover God's personal and purposeful design for your future - not in spite of your story, but through it.

What if the pain and mistakes of your past are exactly what God wants to use to redeem your future?

A difficult childhood, public infidelity, and a fight with cancer - Kasey Van Norman has walked a rocky road of regret and loss. Shockingly, God would take her back to move her forward, uprooting her undealt-with wounds, secret shame, and intimacy-sabotaging patterns of behavior. No longer running from her past, but instead, allowing herself to be defined by it, Kasey discovered a God more intentional and loving than she'd ever believed him to be. In this book, she shares the truth that no part of our life story is wasted - but purposefully designed and used by God to shape who we are meant to be.

With vulnerability, sound doctrine, and humor, Kasey unfolds the brokenness in her own life to:

• Remind you that a holy, sovereign God lovingly works through your past mistakes
• Help you look at your own past to embrace it as the necessary setup for your future
• Point to the God who can weave together a beautiful story of redemption in your life

No experience or relationship has been a mistake. You are no mere byproduct of random events, and you do not need a do-over! Because with God, nothing is wasted.

Real, Revelatory, Redemptive

Wow! I probably could write a book on how much this spoke to me, confirmed for me, inspired me toward so many things in so many ways. This may be THE most transparent and illustrative contemporary stories of God’s plans for redemption on this side of eternity I have ever heard. Thank you so much for allowing the Lord to use your story to help liberate others and glorify His goodness, faithfulness, and love.

Nothing Wasted - Powerful, Life Changing Truths

‘God rightly knows what we so often question, His process is the point.’ This book gave my highlighter a workout with poignant truths like this gem! Kasey is a masterful story teller – raw, riveting, relatable, brave and smart! She unpacks her own personal journey so vividly – the good, the bad & the ugly – no hold barred; all for the benefit of those of us looking on, to helps us understand how God has shaped her life and left nothing within her journey void of purpose. What hope she brings readers as she shifts the focus from her story to remind us of God’s character and the grace, love, guidance and purpose He has for our own personal story!
So often it felt as though Kasey was speaking directly to me, and at other times, it felt as though she was reading an excerpt from the pages of my journal - her insights and love for Jesus totally blessed my heart! If you’re looking for relatable truth, encouragement, reminders of God’s character and the purpose He has for your life (mess & all) this book is a must-read, just don’t forget the Kleenex!

Beautifully real

I’m glad the author did the narration, it would not have been as good and heartfelt with someone else doing it. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be re-listening as well as sharing with my friends or anyone I think it may help in their journey. Praise God for this story and all it’s doing to help others draw honestly near to Him.

Extremely Authentic

I absolutely loved the transparency shared in this book/story! We need so much more of this in a world struggling with secret guilt, shame and condemnation. It's an AMAZING story of how Mighty and Graceful our God truly is!!! I believe naked and unashamed should truly be the goal of every married couple, that's the right direction to end the rapid increase of divorces in our culture! Understanding we are all sinners in need of grace and longsuffering and we need to know that ONLY GOD can provide our Deepest needs, Not Man!!! Thank you Kasey and Justin for this Labor of love...it was not in vain!!! I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in gaining freedom from hurt, shame, guilt or condemnation!

Thanks

I was born in China and English is my second language. First I listen to the book then I decided to purchase a book also. I don’t regret it at all because I got so much out of what you’re sharing. Thank you Jesus for using you, nothing wasted!

Nothing wasted review

I very much enjoyed this book and was read at a time in my life when it was needed. However, chapter 13 is only one minute and leaves out a portion of the story so when it jumps to chapter 14 you have missed what was taking place at that moment. Maybe it needs to be re-narrated or recorded to include all of chapter 13. Otherwise, great book.

Incredible

This is her best book yet. Listen more than once. It's life changing. Truly honest.
