God is the master Storyteller. He is writing your story and it is a part of His bigger, grander, eternal Story. We haven’t gotten to the happy ending yet, and it can be hard to trust Him in the thick of our struggles. When plans fall apart, jobs are lost, kids wander off, doctors give bad reports, we often wonder, "What are you doing, God?" The Wolgemuths tell the stories of people-- some their friends, some in the Bible-- who have faced life-altering challenges, but, in the end, have found God to be faithful. You really can trust God to write your story-- no matter what plot twists you may encounter along the way. -- adapted from jacket

"In their first book together, bestselling authors Robert and Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth share biblical and modern-day stories of God's providence at work, including their own story"-- Provided by publisher
