WHO: Bethny Ricks, an experienced business executive.

SHE SAYS: “With Jesus as our counterweight, we can navigate away from the chaos with our backs straight and heads held high, no matter how intense the storm may be.” 

THE BIG IDEA: A look at God’s timing and the frustrations that may arise in us when we don’t understand it plus practical steps to navigating life’s challenges.

THE PROGRESSION: In 11 chapters, the author blends personal insights, stories from her life in the business world, and Scripture with advice on how to face challenges 

“Engaging God proactively in our plans transforms our perception of him from a distant authority figure to a relational presence.”
