Sometimes life does not turn out how we thought it would. This is certainly true for many of the people we read about in the Bible. As Ken Boa states, “sometimes God’s plans are not our plans. In fact, that’s often the case….” (p. 175, 52 Greatest Stories) We may suffer many indignities in this life, but we need to understand that God is always at work through it all.
Drawing from the lives of Daniel, Jeremiah, and others who experienced hardship, Ken Boa teaches on how to approach disappointment and struggle with a biblical perspective.
