In Plan B pastor and author Pete Wilson uses real life stories of disappointments and hurts along with the biblical stories of men and women like David, Joseph, and Ruth to help readers come to grips with the truth that they will face situations that in themselves they are completely unable to handle but that in them God is simply trying to get them to surrender their plans so that they can receive His. He identifies our common responses to difficulties and offers hope, helping us to
* Understand what God might be up to
* See how surrender helps us to receive God’s plan
* Embrace the community of believers
* Reconcile a God of love with a life of tragedy and suffering
Everyone should read Plan B! Pete Wilson has a gift of walking readers who are hurting—who have had their life shattered by events—and showing them that God is indeed there walking with them through this pain. I believe everyone in their life has a time where things do not go as planned. You lost a loved one to early, a spouse walked out, or you are battling a physical aliment. No matter what the situation is Pete Wilson shows us through passages of scripture the many biblical characters who lived their whole life living out Plan B and how God used their Plan B to bring healing and glory to God.
If you have someone who is going through a difficult time this would be the prefect book to pass along. This will be a book I keep on my shelf to read whenever things don’t go as I had planned.
