If Only: Finding Contentment in the Face of Lack and Longing

By Jennie Pollock

Life doesn't always go the way we hope it will. Whether it's singleness, childlessness or some other big disappointment, it's hard to be content when life lets us down.

For many years, author Jennie Pollock has struggled to feel content. With warmth and honesty, she answers common doubts that arise when life doesn't go the way we had hoped: Is God good? Is he enough? Is he worth it?

She walks readers through the process of taking our eyes off the things we wish we had and instead enjoying the character of the God we do have--a God who is good, who meets all our needs, and whose promises are worth the wait.

Drawing on encouragements from the Bible and the stories of others, this book helps readers to trust in God's plan for their lives and enjoy true contentment through a genuine conviction that Jesus is better than even our most keenly-felt hopes and longings for this life.

Just what I needed

Jennie Pollock does a great job at pointing the reader toward the greater truths of Christian life. She uses a lot of scripture references and quotes from other Christian authors. Her writing style is very easy to read, and she takes time to really help you apply these truths to your own life.
