Great!

This book really ministered to me. It was the first book I've completely finished in a long time. I would recommend this to women, who have dealt with many disappointments in life, that can stunt your growth. This book exposed the lies we tend to believe and the strongholds that can develop. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and recommended it to all my friends. Alicia Watson

excellent study guide!

The study questions in this book really promote an honest evaluation of WHY you feel bummed out about something that's really gone wrong in your life. The author helps you, thru Scripture and her own insights and life experiences, figure out why you are hurt, mad, disappointed, discouraged - then helps you see clearly how to turn those feelings around.

YOU CAN TRIUMPH OVER LIFE'S DISAPPOINTMENTS!

Every Christian woman can identify with this Carol Kent book. It lets us admit that life isn't perfect and gives positive, practical and scriptural advice for facing those disappointments. Kent first invites us to explore our deepest longings and recognize where the reality of life has fallen short of our expectations. She then encourages us not to lose hope or become embittered, but rather to take positive action by teaching how to run those unfulfilled longings through a scripturally based values grid. "By acknowledging and evaluating our passions, we can discover how to lead a much more honest, focused, fulfilling and purposeful life--a life based on eternal values." (Kent, 1990) I highly recommend the book and also the study guide for small group use.
