Plan B by Pete Wilson

Plan B is writen by Pete Wilson, a pastor, who asks the question - "What do you do when God doesn't show up the way you thought he would?" I must admit when I read the cover of the book I wasn't really very interested in reading it. I have read a lot of self help books before and thought how will this book be any different! As I started reading the book I became fascinated with how he explained simple bible truths like I had never heard them before. He asks the question "What is your plan B situation? Where is God asking you to take a seemingly impossible step of faith. He explains how when we feel as though our life isnt turning out the way we had hoped we end up feeling as though God has abandoned us. We tend to assume that the road to God given dreams is going to be smooth and lined with grace.He uses real life people and situations as well as biblical stories throughout his book to show us how others have had to resort to a Plan B for their lives and overcame hardships as well as learnt valuable lessons along the way. What impacted me the most is when he talks about how in this life many of our questions will not have answers, but through it all; God himself will never change. This is why our faith must rest in his identity and not necessarily his activity. This book would make a great bible study book for men, women, couples and even teens. There are questions for each chapter at the back of the book that could be great for group discussions. Definitely worth reading!!
