“I want to believe, I want to have hope, but....” Pastor and author Craig Groeschel hears these words often and has asked them himself. We want to know God, feel his presence, and trust that he hears our prayers, but in the midst of great pain, we may wonder if he really cares about us. Even when we have both hope and hurt, sometimes it’s the hurt that shouts the loudest. Can God be good when life is not? You long to know that even in overwhelming reality, you can still believe that God is good.

It’s an ongoing battle, but one you can win!

That is, not until Sarah discovered she is more like Eve than she cares to admit. Everyone faces trials, and everyone will mess up. But failure should not be the focus. Your focus should not be on who you were but rather the pursuit of who you can become.

Publisher's summary
Unlock the force of hope in life's hardest fights.
Good Catastrophe is your blueprint for finding your way out of pain. It is an atypical, no-holds-barred message of redemptive hope that will breathe new sunshine into your soul.
We need to rebrand hope. The era of everything in our lives fitting neatly in a box is done. That world is over. We need hope—but we need a hope that is robust enough to speak to real life.
Imagine the tide turning on your greatest challenges and problems. In a gritty and unique take on the story of Job, Benjamin Windle shows that flourishing does not come from a life devoid of loneliness, trauma, and anxiety. It's one lived with hope engineered for adversity.
Along with Job's story, he pulls from J. R. R. Tolkien's fascinating concept of "eucatastrophe," showing that your greatest good starts at your point of deepest pain. True hope is not hype. It's not pretending that everything is fine. Hardship, not perfection, is the starting point of hope.
Discover the secret to weathering life's storms, learn how to rise above daily imperfections, find out how to survive crises and come out better, and gain an ultimate perspective on every challenge you face in life.

For many people worry, anxiety, and fear are constant companions: fear of death, fear of danger, fear of disease. And too often these fears are crippling, keeping us from the lives God has called us to live. But it doesn't have to be that way, says Dr. David Jeremiah. As Christians we have been given all we need in order to face down even the most frightening, unexpected, and overwhelming obstacles in life.

The need for change as we get older - an emotional pressure for one phase of our lives to transition into another - is a human phenomenon, neither male nor female. There simply comes a time in our lives - not fundamentally different from the way puberty separates childhood from adulthood - when it's time for one part of ourselves to die and for something new to be born.

In her new book, Stasi Eldredge meets listeners in their painful realities and offers an invitation to a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world. This joy does not Pollyannaish-ly ignore life's heartache; rather, it insists that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. This kind of joy is present to both goodness and grief and interprets them in the light of heaven.

Inspiring Message of Why We Hope
This book includes great anecdotal illustrations of how hardship and hope are intertwined. Our trust is in the person of God and our hope is in His character, not an outcome or our circumstances. Yet in His infinite wisdom he uses even our pain to weave in beauty and growth and new life. We all need to be reminded of these truths and pass them along to the next generation. Thank you for this book.

I’m on my third listen of this book. It came to me at a time of deep pain and hopelessness. There are no coincidences, and God knew what I needed at just the right time. Hope has returned, along with the gift of tremendous growth.

Beautiful and helpful
Just finished this book Good Catastrophe by Ben Windle. It’s absolutely wonderful, drawing from an ancient wisdom around pain and suffering, and the purpose of hope! Such an important message for all, particularly in the world we live in right now. The writer as you will see has a personal understanding of pain, and he expertly explores the philosophy surrounding it and pragmatically lights a path forward without being cliché.
