Story5 out of 5 stars 1
Through personal experience and countless conversations, speaker and Bible teacher Jennie Allen has come to realize that most of us need to unlearn some deeply damaging messages about our emotions. We've been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy when, in fact, they are a gift from God to help us notice what is wrong and where we need to heal. Your emotions are not something to suppress or ignore. They are meant to be felt, examined, and shared.

What does it feel like to come back from something hard, to be able to hope again? Hard things are a part of life. Yet they don’t have to have the final word. They can become the keys to our greatest usability in the kingdom of God - that is, if we let God make good of them, rather than running away and refusing the growth we truly crave. Written for those who desperately want to move forward, The Hard Good gives voice to the hard places we all have lived and Lisa’s clear directions as to where to go next.

Many of us are overwhelmed by the gap between our weaknesses and our dreams, between who we are and who God says we are meant to be. We feel unqualified to do God’s work or to live out the possibilities we imagine. But God has a way of using our weaknesses for good. In fact, God loves unqualified people.

This book helped me to healthily redirect my emotions

Publisher's Summary
Includes an audiobook exclusive interview with Lysa!
New York Times best-selling author Lysa TerKeurst unveils her heart amid shattering circumstances and shows listeners how to live assured when life doesn't turn out like they expected.
What do you do when God’s timing seems questionable, His lack of intervention hurtful, and His promises doubtful?
Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned, and we quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness.
Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God. In It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, Lysa invites us into her own journey of faith and, with grit, vulnerability, and honest humor, helps us to:
- Stop being pulled into the anxiety of disappointment by discovering how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations.
- Train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes.
- Discover the secret of being steadfast and not panicking when God actually does give us more than we can handle.
- Shift our suspicion that God is cruel or unfair to the biblical assurance that God is protecting and preparing us.
- Know how to encourage a friend and help her navigate hard realities with real help from God's truth.

It's Not Supposed to be This Way
Absolutely loved this book! Lisa is so easy to listen to. I have a condition called Dry Eye so the audible books are a God send for me.
Listening to this book makes me want to read anything that she has written! She really has a solid understanding of Scripture and she shared the references so anybody could look them up and be then reassured of the truth she was speaking of.
Her testimony would, I expect, attract many different types and ages of women. A winner for the glory of God!

Thank you, Lysa.
I love to hear authors read their own audiobook. It helps me to understand her side of the story better, plus what she wants her readers to know about God. Thank you, Lysa.

Helpful!!
What a helpful book. As a woman in ministry myself, you never hear about problems in women in ministry relationships... I’m sure there are some 😉, but they are hard to find publicly. I appreciate Lysa’s honesty about the pain. Because we serve a great big God we need to remain in him no matter what circumstance we find ourselves in. This book helps to show you, you’re not alone, other people go through the same sorts of problems, and that you can still be an over comer through Jesus Christ! Thank you Lysa and God bless you!
