Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned, and we quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness. Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. 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.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 2
From the moment a woman wakes until she falls, exhausted, on her pillow, one question plagues her at every turn: Am I enough? The pressure to do more, be more has never been more intense. Online marketing. Self-help books. Movies, magazines, and gym memberships. Even church attendance and social media streams have become a means of comparing ourselves to impossible standards. Am I pretty enough? Hip enough? Spiritual enough? We fear the answer is "No."

What do you do when you wake up and feel like you're not enough for your life? Or when you look out the kitchen window as dusk falls and wonder how do you live when life keeps breaking your heart? As Ann Voskamp writes, "great grief isn't meant to fit inside your body. It's why your heart breaks." And each of us holds enough brokenness to overflow - to be given as the greatest story of our lives. In 60 vulnerably soulful stories, The Way of Abundance moves from self-weary brokenness to Christ-focused givenness.

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!
