By Larry Crabb
I believe the intention in writing this book was a good one. Life sometimes throws curves our way and how we handle these curves can make or break our emotional well being and commitment to God. I agree with the author in that we want to proceed with paths or things that make us happy in life, and if we find this happiness we tend to neglect God; we can manage on our own. Sometimes God then has to close a door in our life to bring us closer to Him. Perhaps a shattered dream is what it takes to steer us in the right direction that brings us back to God, that may open another unexpected door for us, and that may lead us to the simple joy that we crave for in life. I like the idea that behind every failure, heartache, and shattered dream, there is a divine presence waiting to be discovered. This book is thought provoking and is enlightening and has much real truth in coping with shattered dreams and leaning on God. Unfortunately, while I found the insights helpful, I found the book to be dry in its presentation and I struggled to get through it.
I thank the publisher for providing this free copy to me through Library Thing Early Reviewers.
