Unexpected

Unexpected
Leave Fear Behind, Move Forward in Faith, Embrace the Adventure
(Zondervan, 2018)

WHO: Christine Caine, cofounder of both The A21 Campaign and Propel Women.

SHE SAYS: “Imagine how free we’d feel if we learned to truly believe that in every situation, trust was the antidote to fear, that consciously trusting God would cause our moments of anxiety and panic to be short-lived.”

THE BIG IDEA: We can fear the unexpected, or we can counteract its debilitating effects through trust in God, no matter how heartbreaking the unexpected is.

THE PROGRESSION:
Everyone has experienced the unexpected—the loss of a job, a surprising medical diagnosis, an unforeseen bill. Through 10 chapters, the author presents situations readers have been through—or can relate to—and offers ways to counteract the impact fear can have.
Building on a solid, biblical foundation, Christine directs readers to Jesus and explains that the unexpected can be an opportunity to experience more of God’s goodness.

“It’s possible for every Christian to learn how to live with a faith so confident in a good God that it can’t be shaken—even when the ground underneath is giving way.”
