No one expects to suffer heartaches such as divorce, losing a child, or the diagnosis of a debilitating disease while dreaming about the future and envisioning how life will turn out. No one prepares to face the disillusionment of the unexpected and when it hits, the trials can leave behind bewilderment and anger-causing many to question their faith. In When Life Doesn’t Turn Out the Way You Expect , Jerry Brecheisen and Lawrence Wilson identify the negative effects of difficult life experiences and show you ways to begin healing the hurts and disappointments that have disrupted and embittered your life. In these inspiring video lessons, author Lawrence Wilson and his wife, Heather, share their stories of heartbreak, loss, rejection, and failure and describe how God has helped them overcome the suffering in their lives. Their honesty and insight will impact viewers and challenge them to allow God to bring redemption and heal their disappointments. This resource includes a copy of the book, When Life Doesn’t Turn Out the Way You Expect , and a DVD containing six, 10 minute video lessons that correspond to the book’s various chapters. This combo package, part of the In Sight Media Series , is a great resource for adult Sunday School classes, small-group discussions, and sermon enhancement. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Theodicy that Must Ultimately FailThere is much good and to commend here but I have some problems with the theology and doctrinal approach. First, it seems that books of this nature, call them Christian "self-help" books, seem to have adopted a predictable formula. The author chooses a theme, chooses examples from his ministry, and then draws parallels from Biblical narratives tying the two into a neat package that supports the point in question. This is becoming a tiresome formula and it fails at several levels. ...

And the authors seem to understand what that feels like. No platitudes. No cliches. Just real words with real meaning that get to the heart of our disappointment, disillusionment and discouragement. I highly recommend this book for those who are frustrated with the life they're leading...sounds like most of us! Rating:  - Resources for the HurtingWhen Life Doesn't Turn Out the Way You Expect by Jerry Brecheisen & Lawrence W. Wilson gives real life and biblical illustrations of individuals that have found forgiveness and healing when life circumstances didn't turn out the way they had anticipated. The authors have done a great job in providing help and resources for those who are suffering from loss, abuse, rejection, failure, betrayal, pain, disability, and disappointment. I highly recommend this book.
