A rising number of people today are troubled by a phenomenon for which they don't know there's a name. This condition is called emotional inflammation - a state not unlike post-traumatic stress, but one that stems from simply living in today's tumultuous world. If you've suffered from sleep problems, hyperreactivity, persistent grief, or inescapable worry about the future - especially triggered by the nonstop news cycle - then you're probably dealing with emotional inflammation. The good news is: there's something you can do about it.

Story
There are times in life when we look back and want time to stand still, particularly when we get blindsided by unexpected changes. But we can’t stop the flow of life, and we can’t stop time. What’s more, looking back doesn’t enable us to go back. More often than not, it just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit. With a rallying cry to “remember Lot’s wife,” Bible teacher, speaker, activist, and author Christine Caine motivates us to stop looking back, to get unstuck, and to keep moving forward into God’s promises and purposes for our lives.

Challenging hope

Publisher's Summary
Includes an audiobook exclusive interview with Lysa!
New York Times best-selling author Lysa TerKeurst unveils her heart amid shattering circumstances and shows listeners how to live assured when life doesn't turn out like they expected.
What do you do when God’s timing seems questionable, His lack of intervention hurtful, and His promises doubtful?
Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned, and we quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness.
Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God. In It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, Lysa invites us into her own journey of faith and, with grit, vulnerability, and honest humor, helps us to:
- Stop being pulled into the anxiety of disappointment by discovering how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations.
- Train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes.
- Discover the secret of being steadfast and not panicking when God actually does give us more than we can handle.
- Shift our suspicion that God is cruel or unfair to the biblical assurance that God is protecting and preparing us.
- Know how to encourage a friend and help her navigate hard realities with real help from God's truth.

Wonderful God Breathed Book
I think it would be easy to critique this book for the sheer challenging nature of the subject matter. I like how Lyla shares her story of a broken marriage and such disappointments but then still honours her ex-husband and doesn’t make this a gossip session or a chance for her to offload. I think she shows herself more Godly in just doing that than anything. It’s hard because the sinful part of me wants to know every gritty detail but the truth is we don’t need to know, all we need is her God breathed words that WE ARE NOT ALONE. God is faithful to walk closely with us through every season and I think Lysa says that beautifully. I was inspired, challenged, felt heard and comforted throughout this book. I highly recommend it. Lysa is the real deal and I can’t wait to hear more from her!

Nutritious Vital Biblical
I read sections of this book almost daily because of LT’s gentle compassionate manner and wise referencing of scripture. It can help everyone stay focussed on Gods love for them (us) through life’s challenges. Full of sound, intelligent biblical references and real life corollaries. This book is sound and trustworthy and uplifting and useful on a daily basis.

so relatable, honest and real
This is my first book by Lysa that Ive listen to. The title of the book grabbed my attention and the way she described her honest feelings about her christian faith and the fact its not all 'happy & joyful' all the time - really resonated.
Her honesty is so helpful and very fact she goes through trials while writing this book, gives her & us a genuine perspective of pain & hurt - while searching for the hope and peace we all crave from our Heavenly Father.
