We all experience setbacks and disappointments in life. Sometimes those setbacks become entire seasons of life. Businesses fail, relationships falter, discouragement and doubts set in, and circumstances overwhelm us.
This book uses nine amazing "comeback stories" from the Bible to show how God provides everything needed to get through challenging setbacks.
Rather than showing people overcoming hardship through simple grit, the stories of Moses, David, Abigail, Esther, Joseph, Jonah, Elijah, Hezekiah, and Peter tell of extraordinary changes of heart and how God works in all things for the good of those who love him. Readers will be given a new perspective on their struggles and will be encouraged to trust ...God in them.
Author John Meador uses his 35 years of Bible-teaching ministry, as well as his own experience of suffering permanent hearing loss, to write with faithfulness, compassion, and authenticity. He says:
“These stories are real-life events that often brought more drama, heartbreak, and tragedy, and had more at stake than most any other situations in history. They show us greater and more meaningful outcomes than we can possibly imagine.”
This is a great book for anyone looking for answers to life’s challenges. It is a useful ministry resource for pastors and church leaders searching for stories of faith to encourage others. Coming back from regrets, adversity, hopelessness, discouragement, anger, moral failure, disillusionment, physical crisis, grief, and oppression are some of the themes covered.
I'm a big fan of Old Testament bible stories and this is a really helpful, fresh take on some big characters who seemed like they were down and out or never going to be who they needed to be, and yet God turned their lives around. The stories of characters like Moses, Jonah and Joseph are explored and we see the power of what God can do in any situation! My one slight gripe is that for a short book, there is almost a little too much attempted. I'd have liked a bit more detail on each story and a ...bit more application, which would have either meant the book needed to be longer or just fewer stories needed to be attempted. However, it's still a really helpful book and worth a read!
As one on life's encouragers, I was attracted this book. A book that shares the stories of a number of characters from the Bible who were faced with difficulties and tragedies that tested their faith. Each situation is relatable, compared to experiences that the author has had in his own family or from a lifetime of pastoring and counselling others. It shows that normal, everyday people face similar circumstances and that God is faithful and consistent. He is the same now as He was in those Bible stories and despite where we are in our life journey, He is never ...finished with us. He always has something more. Even if we despair and cannot see a way back, that is OK. Because Jesus will seek us out. He will find us even if we have lost hope.
Is God still good when life seems disappointing? In God’s Not Done with You, John Meador shares encouragement from the Bible’s greatest comeback stories. This inspirational book examines nine moving biblical stories from the angle of setbacks and disappointments. Viewing them from this perspective allows Meador to teach the truth that God is faithful in our failures.
Readers may be familiar with the heroic stories of Moses, David, Abigail, Esther, Joseph, Jonah, Elijah, Hezekiah, and Peter — but Meador treats ...them as fallible humans with real emotions. Meador weaves in examples from his own life as well as stories from his work as a pastor. He does an excellent job of taking familiar stories from the Bible and applying their lessons to your own faith.
Moving and Inspirational
I was most pleased to read about Peter, as I was preparing a message on the exact same passage he used. Peter had denied Christ, and was feeling like a failure. But Jesus reached out to him, calling him to trust him again. I also learned from Hezekiah’s story - one that I did not know as well as the others. God has a reason for our time on earth, and we must rely on his grace to get us through.
This will be a moving and inspirational read for anyone going through a challenging season. It will strengthen your faith in God’s goodness, and help you see the big picture of his plans. Pastors and leaders will find this book helpful in pointing others to hope. God’s not done with you. He who began a good work in you will complete it.
I received a media copy of God’s Not Done with You and this is my honest review.
