Is it possible that good things can come out of our broken dreams?Worship leader and recording artist Laura Story was faced with her worst fear--her husband, Martin, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and would never be the same. Yes, with God all things are possible, but currently there is no cure to restore Martin's short-term memory, eyesight, and other complications. The fairytale life she had dreamed of is no longer possible. And yet Laura has found joy and a deeper intimacy with Jesus through this and other broken dreams.Laura's understanding and faith has grown as she examines what the Scriptures say about God. For years she believed myths such as: - God always promises happy endings- We can avoid pain if we serve God- If we pray hard enough, God will fix our problems- God can't use us until our story gets resolvedLaura helps us understand we aren't the only ones whose lives didn't turn out as we expected. She examines the brokenness of some of the heroes of our faith--men like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Paul--and shows how despite their flaws and flawed stories, God was able to use them in extraordinary ways. And it was not because of their faith, but because of the faithfulness of their God. God may not fix everything. In fact, your situation might never change or get better, but "you" can get better regardless of your situation.

I've just finished reading this, got it for Christmas. wow, she is so honest about her struggles and where God worked, and where she would have liked Him to but he didn't! There are some lovely funny bits and some really sad bits. She is really honest a few times, including parts that we would probably only tell our best friends. It made me hope that God can use me despite my up and downess! I love the fact that she doesn't really have a neatly tied up victorious story to tell, and she still has the day to day failings and faith that I oscillate between. I find it really encouraging that she doesn't tidy it all up, she includes all the messy bits but still comes out with the assurance that God is faithful and is doing a work. I could buy this now for about 6 friends who I am sure would find it as helpful and as challenging and encouraging as I did. Definitely recommended.
