When God doesn't stop it from happening -- Running naked through the streets of your story -- Starched shirts and supernatural sightings -- Too tired to fight -- Attach: did you or didn't you? -- Parental predisposition problems -- Dusting off daddy issues -- Feeling our way to God -- Let's talk about sex... or not -- Life-defining moments -- Honesty's a buzz kill -- Listening to the right voice -- It's all just one, big setup -- When nothing and everything changes -- Sift it out now, sinner -- I don't know who to not love you -- Living like it's our job -- Big-picture believing: a home for unlikely, improbably, and discarded things.
"A difficult childhood, public infidelity, and a fight with cancer - Kasey Van Norman has walked a rocky road of regret and loss. Shockingly, God would take her back to move her forward, uprooting her undealt-with wounds, secret shame, and intimacy-sabotaging patterns of behavior. No longer running from her past, but instead, allowing herself to be defined by it, Kasey discovered a God more intentional and loving than she'd ever believed him to be. Today, she shares the truth that no part of our life story is wasted - but purposefully designed and used by God to shape who we are meant to be. With vulnerability, sound doctrine, and humor, Kasey unfolds the brokenness in her own life, reminding us that a holy, sovereign God lovingly works, not in spite of our past, but through it. In this book, Kasey invites you to look at the most unlikely, shocking, and painful experiences of your past in order to embrace them as the necessary setup for your future. No experience or relationship has been a mistake. You are no mere byproduct of random events, and you do not need a do-over! Join Kasey, and take God up on his offer to weave together every confusing, disjointed scrap of your past in to his beautiful story of redemption. Because with God, nothing is wasted."--Amazon
