Shattered Dreams (Gods unexpected pathway to Joy) by Larry Crabb!!! I highly recommend this book!!! It is so good...it talks about how we all have our ideas for our lives, plans, dreams but eventually they will shatter, take a different turn or just not be what or how you imagined...Only through your constant faith in Christ will you ever get past earthly desires (temporary happiness) to find truth...JOY:)
"But only a fulfilled desire for God provides the power to consistently resist the lure of lesser pleasures and to stay anchored in Christ when life's storms rage." (pg.96)
The book uses Namoi's story to show how she went through tragedy w/ her husband and 2 sons dying but when she came back to Bethlehem, "the barley harvest was beginning" (Ruth 1.22)After ten years of being miserable she begins to find joy...through her struggles...Anyway this book is REALLY good so thought I would share:)))
