"Trusting God When Bad Things Happen" by Shelley Hitz is not a long book, but it has great potential to be a life-changing book. Calling on her own experiences of bad things happening, and how she learned to cope with tragedies by growing in her faith in God, Shelley has written a virtual cookbook on learning to trust in God and lean on Jesus. No one can read about her experiences and think "that wasn't as bad as what I've gone through" or "maybe that works for her, but it won't work for me". She has written a book that is 100% biblical in its truths, and firmly founded on faith in God as her co-author. Shelley has a special place in her heart and soul for the trials and tribulations of teen girls, but the precepts in this book are by no means limited to just teen girls. Quite to the contrary, this short book is packed with a powerful message for everyone who faces uncertainty when "bad things happen".It's not exactly unheard of that bad things happen. Look at today's newspaper, and you will find ample evidence that something bad happened to a lot of people just since yesterday's newspaper came out. If nothing bad has ever happened to you, reading this book will help to prepare you for that inevitable day when something bad will happen to you. If your life has been stricken by tragedy beyond your comprehension, reading this book will give you the tools and even the motivation to face and overcome that tragedy, whether or not you believe it possible to ever get through your situation. This book is a must-read for everybody. It won't take much of your time, it won't hurt you, and it will help you immensely if you keep your heart and mind open to its teachings.I was given a free copy of this book by the author, in exchange for an honest and impartial review. I am grateful for the opportunity to read this excellent book.
