I picked this book becausea friend was reading it and I wanted to join her. I really enjoyed the writing style, it's very similar to mine. And there were some very "wow" moments when she mentioned things I'd never thought of! Instead of the book teaching the reader how to remember God, it's more of the author sharing how she remembered God. Which is very different from other Christian books I have read. I'm very curious to read some of her other books and see how they are laid out! This is a deeply personal book that makes you feel as though you are talking over coffee with your best friend. So many things that we feel, Annie does too, so this makes this a book we can relate to. This book reminds us that even in our most dire or difficult circumstances, God is there. Even when we question whether He really is. Annie shares her own struggles with wondering if God is truly good, kind and there for her and she goes through very trying times. She is vulnerable with us and truly shares her heart. Annie is very open in this book and shares the good and bad of her life. I think it spoke to me because she didn't try to sugar-coat her life. She goes through things and has the same types of feelings that we all do. It wasn't always easy reading about her struggles but it was beneficial to see how she points us back to God and His grace and love. I think this is a book that will definitely speak to the heart of the hurting. Remember God is beautifully written and I give it 4 out of 5 stars. *This book was provided to me by LifeWay. I received a copy of this book to review but I was not financially compensated in any way. The opinions expressed are my own and are based on my observations while reading this book. Annie's warm and honest voice is a loving companion in this book. Her circumstances are specific (a single 30s-something woman who longs to get married and have a family), and yet her struggle to trust God in the midst of them is so relatable, no matter what unmet desires you may have. I listened to the audiobook (read by Annie herself) in a couple days--I couldn't put it down. If you've ever struggled to trust God in the midst of your circumstances, you need to read this book!!

I know God is loving; I know He is good; I believe He is big and powerful. But sometimes I wonder if He is really kind- really deeply always kind. Is He? Christians love to talk about how God is in control, but that's harder to grasp when things aren't going like you thought it would, when your life looks quite different than you imagined. For centuries, God's people have been building altars to Him-to remind themselves and the people around them of His work. His goodness. His kindness. Stacks of stones. Altars. Temples. Cathedrals. Why? Because they believed God and wanted to remember Him. In the back of my mind, God reminds me that He is the same trustworthy God-the One who always finishes the stories he starts. And this is my story-of wrestling with our God who gives a limp and a blessing. A God who is always kind even when my circumstances feel the opposite. God is who He says He is. He is kinder than you imagine. In a world where it is easy to forget who He is, we will not. We will remember God. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I've been going through what is a really long transition. There's not a lot of people I know who have had an experience like the one I'm currently living. It was so refreshing to read about Annie waiting on something totally different but living with many of the same questions and experiences.
A book that I truly treasure. ( )
