I am reviewing a copy of When You Don’t Like Your Story through Nelson Books/Thomas Nelson and Netgalley:




In When You Don’t Like Your Story we are reminded that many people aren’t happy with the stories that God is writing in their lives. We feel that the mistakes, failures, tragedies, and circumstances outside of our control linger in our minds and hold us back.   But the author reminds us that God turns our broken stories into beautiful prose and the unwanted pages in the book that is our life into stunning narratives of victory.





Author Sharon Jaynes reminds us that our ravaged pages can turn into God’s redemptive victory.    She goes on to teaming us that though we live our life forwards, we understand it backwards.   She goes on to point at that their are times we prefer to live in the certainty of dysfunction rather than to embrace the uncertainty of change.





It is pointed out too that God does not simply want to comfort us in our distress, but infant he also wants to heal us from the history of hurt that causes it..  we are reminded too that just as forgiving others sets us free from the hate place forgiving ourselves sets us free from shame.






We are reminded too that our story is a divine weapon that has the power to defeat the devil.  It is pointed out too that struggles remove fluff from our Faith to make it rock solid, and that hardships can prepare ordinary people from an extraordinary destiny.




I give When You Don’t Like Your Story five out of five stars!




Happy Reading!
