Unexpected
[Book & Study Guide]
Whether it’s losing a job, receiving a bad report from the doctor, a late-night phone call, a relationship ending, a financial setback, or a dashed dream, “unexpected” shows up in unwelcome ways. Sometimes it feels like it’s raining rocks, and we’re doing our best to dodge a fatal blow.
In Unexpected, Stephen and Karen share their personal stories of pain and disruption…an unexpected, traumatic robbery and unexpected, life-threatening heart failure. From their stories, Stephen and Karen share seven valuable takeaways that will help you navigate your own disruptions. These practical insights will inspire hope, offer wisdom, and deepen your faith.
Plus, the Unexpected Study Guide is a great companion resource. This 5-session guide can be used for personal reflection or as a small group curriculum.
