Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the idea we feel too broken to be fixed or that God can not use us. However, that is far from the case. Jeannie Bennett takes her readers on a journey including personal stories and testimony to Scripture references to questions to think about in each chapter. I found this book moving and uplifting. She illustrates how God has a plan for each one of our lives if we just allow Him to capture our hearts and souls.

I found the book one that deserves the reader to interact with it rather than just speed-reading through it. I felt I needed to have my Bible and a journal on hand while reading. So check out this book for yourself, especially if you feel broken or questioning God’s ability to use you.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.

Between the pages of this book is a story that gives readers hope while seeing how God is always there with us. I enjoyed reading the author’s personal story and how she went through many trials. At a young age she experienced rejection which followed her through her adulthood. I cried when I read about how her brother was injured and became the main focus of the family. I can understand how she felt pushed aside at times.

One thing I noticed was how history seemed to keep repeating itself in the family. With divorce, alcoholism and depression the author was destined for failure. The most shocking thing in the book was the incident with her mother. Anger can overtake us sometimes and if we don’t know how to cope, it can end up causing split decisions that are devastating. I was sad that her mother had a hard life and saw a pattern of generational curses being passed on to others.

The author in her darkest moment realizes that God was the only answer . I loved how she slowly changed and found a way to forgive her mother. It is not easy to forgive, but when you do you are set free. The key element in this story is not only forgiveness but understanding that Gods has as plan for our lives. I liked the scriptures used and the questions at the end of each chapter.

I would love to hear her speak someday. Her story is powerful and shows how God was working in her life even as a child. Her testimony is healing as she demonstrates each situation she faced and how blessings came from it. God uses our trials to strengthen us, help us grow in faith and to learn to trust Him with everything. This would be a perfect book to use in a Bible study. Her honesty and compassion are tools that God can use to reach others who feel abandoned, hopeless and rejected.

“God uses every lesson to teach us and prepare us for things to come.”

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
