"For this reason, I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man; so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we could ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:14-21

Book Reviews

Plan B by Pete Wilson

The book Plan B by Pete Wilson is an excellently written and well organized foray into the difficult subject of What do You do When God Doesn't Show up the Way You Thought He Would. Wilson explores the realm of dreams and lost dreams when your life takes a turn and you find yourself on a path that you never wanted to be on, a path which may include tragedy, illness, job loss, depression, and many other similar life events which are not on our "to do" list. He asks the question that many ask, "Where is God in all of this?"

Although Pete Wilson doesn't purport to have the answers, he has sound advice and godly wisdom on how we can deal with the unexpected and unwelcomed turns our lives may take, and how we can prepare ourselves for those inevitable difficulties. The book is sprinkled with the stories of Biblical heroes and everyday people who have had to deal with Plan B situations. He handles the subject with grace and truth, bringing us the assurance that even when we can't seem to feel God's presence, He never has nor will He ever leave us or forsake us.
