I joined booksneeze – a book review website that sends books out to individuals in exchange for an honest review – quite some time ago, but have not actually done a review until now. I read ‘Plan B - What Do You Do When God Doesn’t Show Up the Way You Thought He Would?’ by Pastor Pete Wilson of Cross Point Church in Nashville, Tennessee. Plan B is a book that any man or woman can relate to. Pete Wilson uses God’s word to show us that while we may have a plan for our lives it may not always be God’s plan for our lives. Pete goes on to show that our Plan B has actually always been God’s Plan A for our lives. He uses real life situations, some from his own life, to draw the reader in. As we travel through the book we travel through Biblical history and realize that even long ago men and women alike struggled with many of the same things we struggle with today. Pete shows us that in the times that we feel as though God has deserted us or put us on the back burner He is actually using the very worst times of our lives to draw us nearer to Him, through our total surrender to His will. Plan B is an easy read that does not beat around the bush. The author is straightforward without being unnecessarily harsh. I believe anyone would benefit from reading this book, even those not currently suffering through trials. It brings to light the fact that we all have asked “Where is God when I am hurting?” and what we can do to prepare for those “down” times in our lives by reminding us to trust God, that He does have everything under control – especially when we feel out of control. I greatly enjoyed this book and am certain that I will refer to it often throughout my life experiences.
