Publisher's summary

Encouragement and practical steps from best-selling author Christine Caine to help you move from anxiety about the unexpected to embracing confident faith in a good God.

Is it possible to have peace in an uncertain world? To not only expect the unexpected but embrace it? Most of us want to have life under control. But God wants us to anticipate the unexpected with a faith deeply rooted in his goodness. He wants us to know that because he is in control, we don't have to be.

In Unexpected, beloved author Christine Caine helps us walk into the life God has for us - unknowns and all. Using dramatic examples from her own journey, Christine offers real-life strategies and biblical inspiration to help you:

  • Anticipate the unexpected - personal upheaval, relational challenges, financial stresses, family transitions, career disappointments, and chaotic world affairs, etc.
  • Move from fear and worry about ourselves to hope and trust in God
  • Learn new ways to manage disappointment, strengthen our hearts, and build our faith
  • Step into the unknown to embrace your God-given destiny
  • Live in the joyful freedom of complete trust in God

Nothing in our lives takes God by surprise. So even in the midst of personal upheaval, relational challenges, financial stresses, family transitions, career disappointments, and chaotic world affairs, we can expect God to be good and do good. What other expectation do we need to have? Listen to God’s dare to trust him in every unknown of your life today.

Also available: Unexpected video study and study guide.

Encouraging!

Im considering giving this book to all my friends for Christmas. Chris has done another amazing job at delivering a timely message of hope and encouragement. Here she shares her own personal stories of pain and heartache as well as others. Each one delivering you hope on the other side. I savored each chapter. They were like devotionals, so faith building and inspirational.

Gods timing is always perfect

I stumbled on this most recent book by Christine Caine and was unexpected but it’s message was just what I needed to hear! God’s timing is always perfect.
I recommend having your Bible handy as there are so many Biblical references throughout her message.
Blessings Christine for the work you do and continue to do for God’s kingdom.

Unexpected Encouragement

This book is so encouraging. It tells the stories of people just like you and me, who chose to believe God in the hardest of times.
It reminded me that even though I am in the scope of the universe I am small, I have a purpose from the most Extraordinary God!!
Hearing Christine’s messages has changed my life - if you haven’t read or listened to this, please do!! It will make such a big difference. And so will you!😊💜 Thank you, Christine, for your incredible ministry.
