This is the first book I’ve read by Kay Arthur even though I’d heard of her and I’ve admired her work for a long time. I was not disappointed in this book that deals with that very topic: disappointment.

I’ve been going through a personal struggle for the past year, and I thought this would be a great book to help build my faith. I was right. Because of this book, I was able to look at the hurt I was facing in a whole new way. Rather than look at it as a failure, I looked at it as a way for God to teach me something new and wonderful. I was able to see on the other side of the situation to the victory that I could have.

I am impressed with how very scriptually based this book is. Bible scholars won’t be disappointed. Kay Arthur is very scripturally based and always has been. It’s one of the things I’ve long admired her for.

I used this book as a morning devotional. I’d read it as long as I could without feeling overwhelmed. There was so much information, and so much good meat in the book that I would put it down after I’d learn one new spiritual truth, which was about every five pages or so. I’d meditate on that truth before reading on. I highly encourage anyone reading this to be armed with a highlighter and a notebook. There’s much to learn from these pages.

This is an excellent investment for anyone’s library. However, I did receive this book in exchange for this review. But I was not in any way influenced to write a positive review. These words are all my very own, genuine opinion.
