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 us into her own journey of faith.

While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, real women with real families who are constantly growing and changing simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is a home that is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.

The enemy wants us to feel rejected, left out, lonely, and less than. When we allow him to speak lies through our rejection, he pickpockets our purpose. Cripples our courage. Dismantles our dreams. And blinds us to the beauty of Christ's powerful love. In Uninvited, Lysa shares her own deeply personal experiences with rejection - from the incredibly painful childhood abandonment by her father to the perceived judgment of the perfectly toned woman one elliptical over.

Very inspiring
Since I'm from the same geographical area that Sara was from and share some of her health problems, I really wanted to read this story. Sarah was an inspiration to those who knew her personally and through social media. She deliberately chose not to succumb to the depression or despair that her suffering might have caused her. She was a person who was grateful for life and inspired others to be as well.
At first I didn't care for the apparent lack of "flow" of the book, but then realized it was written by someone else about Sara based on their friendship and also Sara's blogs, etc on the internet. Once this was clear the book was really enjoyable and inspirational. You get to know Sara, her troubles and the genius of her attitude towards life's difficulties. I strongly recommend this to anyone with chronic or terminal illness or other serious trials. I found myself thinking over and over "WOW I wish I could think that way!" Thanks to the author who shared this story with those of us who did not know of Sara while she was on earth!

Great book!
Very good book that makes you stop and appreciate the small things in life! We take for granted our purpose in life is bigger than the day to day wants and our busy schedules. We need to stop and appreciate what we have today!
