Book Review: Plan B

I just finished reading Pete Wilson’s newest book entitled Plan B – What do you do when God doesn’t show up the way you thought he would? It is a good read. The book goes into how we have misconceived notions of how God will show up in various situations. What do we do and how do we react when things don’t go as we expect? Do we give up on trusting Him? May it never be. God can use anything for His glory.

Pete uses several examples out of the Old Testament to illustrate his points. Often we begin to trust our feelings and not rely on what God has said. We feel like He has left us in a messed up situation. Often times it is our decisions that have caused us to walk down the wrong road, or make a poor decision. We don’t feel like God is there for us anymore. What do we do in this Plan B? I appreciate that Pete stays with the same version of the Bible for most of his Biblical references. He uses long passages to illustrate his points, rather than taking a verse and mis-interpreting its context. He uses some of my favorite people in the Bible to illustrate how God can move. A good read.
