Publisher Description

:Is it possible that good things can come out of our broken dreams?

Worship leader and recording artist Laura Story was faced with herworst fear?her husband, Martin, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and wouldnever be the same. Yes, with God all things are possible, but currently thereis no cure to restore Martin's short-term memory, eyesight, and othercomplications. The fairytale life she had dreamed of is no longer possible. Andyet Laura has found joy and a deeper intimacy with Jesus through this and otherbroken dreams.

Laura's understanding and faith has grown as she examines what theScriptures say about God. For years she believed myths such as:

? God always promises happy endings

? We can avoid pain if we serve God

? If we pray hard enough, God will fix ourproblems

? God can't use us until our story gets resolved

Laura helps usunderstand we aren?t the only ones whose lives didn?t turn out as we expected.She examines the brokenness of some of the heroes of our faith?men likeAbraham, Joseph, David, and Paul?and shows how despite their flaws and flawedstories, God was able to use them in extraordinary ways. And it was not becauseof their faith, but because of the faithfulness of their God.

God may not fix everything. In fact, yoursituation might never change or get better, but you can getbetter regardless of your situation.
