Description

Worship leader and recording artist Laura Story's life took an unexpected turn when her husband, Martin, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Their lives would never be the same. Yes, with God all things are possible. But the devastating news was that no cure existed to restore Martin's short-term memory, eyesight, and other complications. The fairy-tale life Laura had dreamed of was no longer possible. And yet in struggling with God about how to live with broken dreams, Laura has found joy and a deeper intimacy with Jesus. Laura helps us understand we aren't the only ones whose lives have taken unexpected turns. She examines the brokenness of some of the heroes of our faith, and shows how despite their flaws and flawed stories, God was able to use them in extraordinary ways.

lesson from this book. We don’t have fairytale lives, we may want them, we may dream of them, but we don’t have them. Our lives are messy. Some more than others. But this book, reading about Laura and Martin’s journey has encouraged me so much.

I heard her song, “Blessings” many years ago and it touched me. Now it has an even deeper meaning. They have been through so much and it was hard to read it because I can relate to much of it and know I’ve fallen short also, but I know that I’m not alone, there in the midst of all the pain is God. There’s hope for us because God does not leave us, we may feel like He has, but He hasn’t. This is a great book, I highly recommend it to everyone, but especially to anyone who is going through a hard time.
