Discover how your greatest trials are the key to your greatest opportunities.

"Life's not fair!" You've heard it a million times--and probably said it yourself. But what if your greatest difficulties were stepping stones to a greater destiny? What if seasons of unbearable pain turned out to be pathways to unbelievable purpose?

In The Unfair Advantage, pastor Aaron Burke takes a closer look at the seven unfair seasons Joseph endures in the book of Genesis and reveals how Joseph's struggles are not unlike the battles you face today.

Combining biblical truths with Pastor Aaron's insights from his years of walking with people through their biggest challenges, this book offers a message of hope and renewed strength for anyone who has battled seasons of feeling discouraged, rejected, undervalued, tempted, unfairly punished, deprived, or forgotten. The surprising reality revealed by the story of Joseph is that unfair moments and seasons of difficulty--if handled wisely--can actually be used by God for your advantage.

The Unfair Advantage will comfort and inspire you as you encounter in a new way the dramatic story of Joseph's trials and ultimate triumph. Along the way, you'll learn how to

• Transform adversity into advantage
• Endure even the most challenging moments through courage and hope rooted in faith
• Become aware of God's presence, peace, and promise in the midst of hardship

In The Unfair Advantage, if you are walking through a season that seems unfair you will be reminded of God's ultimate gift of favor. While your situation may seem hopeless now, you can trust that God is forging something beautiful out of the brokenness, putting purpose to your pain, righting every wrong, and building a destiny better than your greatest dreams.

Excellent book

This book teaches us how to take full responsibility of everything in our life. We can be a victim of our circumstances and stay in our own heads or we can take responsibility and make a positive difference in our community.

Most encouraging Christian book EVER!!!

This book has by far been one of the best encouraging books I’ve ever read and listened to! This book will definitely be a re-listen multiple times! Definitely worth listening to over and over! This book has blessed me so much! A must listen! Great for Bible studies as well.

Life's Toughest Moments? This book nails the help.

Wow. Not all books are created equal. My newest read is the 'The Unfair Advantage' book by Pastor Aaron Burke.

Watch my short video. It’s like he took the story of Joseph from Genesis and held it up as a mirror to our modern challenges.

It's not just a 'hang in there' kind of book – it's more of a 'here’s how you pivot when life throws curveballs' guide.

Honestly, if you've ever felt knocked down or overlooked, this is a must-read. It’s an easy read and keeps you hooked.

Burke genuinely shows how, with a little faith and perspective, our toughest times might just be our biggest blessings in disguise. And it’s all scripturally rock solid, too.

Add this one to your list.

Incredible perspective on pain

Thanks for this approach to life’s hard days . Really helped me and my friends. Definitely recommend.

Great message

The author gives such great insight into why bad things happen to good people. Absolutely a great read!

Powerful and and Godly message that this generation needs to hear!

Our current society is filled with people who wallow away and their sorrows, pain and struggle and cling to it as a scapegoat to the life they are living. They make pain their identity instead of turning the pain and trials of life to propel them towards their purpose in God’s calling. Pastor Aaron shares 7 keys from the life of Joseph that God used to fulfill Joseph’s calling. So many awful chain of events that God used for good. This book will do just that, it will encourage and propel people to turn their unfair life circumstances into an advantage for their purpose that God has for them, just like we see in the life of Joseph. Such a good read, such an encouraging message. 10/10!

Well of knowledge and abundance of wisdom!

Understand what my life can be with my unfair advantage. It changes my attitude and action toward my life.

A life changing message

I prayed to God angry one night about why he had placed the challenges in my life that he did. I was upset. I didn’t understand- I had lost sight of my purpose. I felt like he abandoned me when I needed him the most. Not even a month later, I heard Aaron Burke on a Podcast with Zach Clinton talking about his book and the message behind it, and I felt Gods presence. I knew God was speaking to me. I have never listened to a book on this app more than once. This is my third time listening to it, and each time I do, I hear a message I missed before. This is the best book I’ve listened to and the first review I have ever done in 3 years. Praise to the Lord for this powerful message and thank you Aaron Burke for having the courage to fulfill the works God has called onto your life. Amen

A book worth reading

It’s a powerful book to read. Pastor Aaron hits hard on every page. The 7 keys are eye opening.

God's Confirmation

I work for a company where I am truly overworked and underpaid, and I have a very hateful supervisor who has never been one to lift up our team. I kept Praying before and after work, and things NEVER got better, so I kept asking God why? Why am I paid so little at 54 when my 22 year old girls are paid 3 times what I am? Why do I no longer want to help senior citizens when I LOVE working with them? Why is my supervisor always angry? Why am I struggling so much financially? I became bitter and started to Pray for a new life and for my supervisor to be fired. A senior told me that I need to Pray for my supervisor and embrace my job the way I did before because I Prayed for this job, and God heard me and Blessed me with it. I began Praying over my supervisor, our relationship, the seniors needing NY Medicaid long-term care, and my temperament. Things got worse, but I kept Praying and being the person I knew God knew I could be and wanted me to be. My supervisor told me on the 24th that she was leaving our team for another position, and I instantly knew that God was in the mix. Pastor Aaron, your book confirmed this. I enjoyed every single chapter and took away a peace and determination that I thought I had lost a long time ago. I will continue to Pray over my consumers, my job, my finances, and even my new supervisor, I wake up every day now with a smile on my face and in my heart and peace. Thank you so much for the confirmation, for bringing the book to life with your voice, which helps to bring the word alive through your personality. I know now more than ever that my girls picked the right Church to guide them on their journey as well as myself. We are Radiant!
