Life often looks so very far from the reality we long for. Lysa TerKeurst deeply understands. But she's also discovered that whether we're dealing with daily disappointments or life-altering loss, we can find unexpected strength as we wrestle well between our faith and feelings. This book offers a safe guide, fresh biblical insight, and life-giving perspectives for living in between Eden and eternity. With grit, vulnerability, and honest humor, Lysa helps readers: Stop being pulled into the anxiety of disappointment by discovering how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations. Train themselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so they 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 them more than they can handle. Shift their suspicion that God is cruel or reckless to the biblical assurance that God is protecting and preparing them. Know how to encourage a friend and help them navigate hard realities with real help from God's truth. This pack contains one study guide and one DVD.
