When You Don't Like Your Story

What If Your Worst Chapters Could Become Your Greatest Victories?

De: Sharon Jaynes

Narrado por: Jill Blackwood

Bestselling author, cofounder of Girlfriends in God, and writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries Sharon Jaynes reveals the secret to living a better story: understanding that the worst parts of our past are the very things God uses most.

Many people don't like the story God is writing in their lives. The mistakes, failures, tragedies, and circumstances outside of our control linger in our minds and hold us back. How do we come to grips with the pieces of our stories that we wish weren't there? How do we silence the pain of what has been done to us and the shame of what we've allowed to be done through us?

In When You Don't Like Your Story, Bible teacher Sharon Jaynes shows us how God untangles our most painful emotions with the fingers of grace, putting his redemption on display. In the hardest parts of our narratives, we get to see God's greatest work--and this changes the ending of our stories. As we overcome shame, offer forgiveness, and use our stories to help others, we find freedom from the past and learn to live in the restoration of the present.

Accompanying Bible verses, prayers, and study guide are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

A powerful and encouraging book

I loved this book. It was exactly what I needed in this chapter of my life. I'm so thankful that God can use the good and the messy parts of my story. The narrator did an amazing job! Thank you Sharon Jaynes for being open and honest as you wrote this book. Your book reinforced what God has been teaching me this past year. May God richly bless you and your family.

Highly recommend this book!

What a great eye opener for me to realize I have allowed many others write my story and try to live that as though it’s true. I’m encouraged to write my own.

Love the stories in this book, so personal and relevant

The accompanying pdf is a great addition to this book. This book help me to learn and understand my own story.

Open my mind

I enjoyed this book. It gave a different perspective on how to think about your life and if you feel things need changing and that it is okay to do so.

When I didn't like my best friend's story

This book brought me so much encourage in a time of loss. I lost my best friend to cancer unexpectantly. We were ready to fight and God's grace took her home before I was ready. I didnt like my friend's story. I wanted her to be able to fight for her life for her two young children, for the ministry she would leave behind. This book gave me a different lens, a soften heart to reality and a renewed hope in God.
