When Change Finds You: 31 Assurances to Settle Your Heart When Life Stirs You Up

by Kristen Strong

When difficult or unwanted change enters our lives, it can cause fear, anxiety, and anger to bubble up from within. We want to quiet that simmering stress, but how do we do that, especially when we know our circumstances aren't going to calm down any time soon? By regularly meeting with God and exchanging our worries and fears for his assurances that he is using our difficult change for us, not against us.

Easier said than done? Not if you have Kristen Strong alongside you as your understanding guide. Offering thoughtful, humorous anecdotes and powerful prayers to recite, Strong invites you to think and feel differently about change on the inside so you can live and love differently on the outside. As the tender companion she is, Kristen will show you how not to get over difficult change but rather to get through it. She'll help you acknowledge your change, give your anxieties over to God, and abide well in the days to come--no matter what transitions life brings.

Kristen Strong's latest book, "When Change Finds You," is one of the best and most helpful spiritual books I've ever read. Full of wisdom and practical advice, this book is immensely helpful when one is navigating any sort of change--or in my case, many changes all at the same time. Each devotional has a Scripture focus, a personal story (some are from Kristen's own life, while others are from friends or heroes in the faith), a prayer, and a summary focus.

I was so impressed with the timeliness and encouragement of this book that even before I finished it, I purchased copies for many of my friends.

I highly recommend this book for anyone you know who is navigating a change or three (or even more, as it is in my case). This book will help and encourage.

I was given this book even though it was something that I ordinarily wouldn't read but I am glad that I did. This was a spiritual writing about coping and knowing that God is with you even though you are not aware of him. We are given the strength to get through changes in our lives and learning how to cope with them. Everyday there is something different to deal with but we are never alone.

This book has been a balm to my soul during a challenging and uncertain period of life. I plan to re-read it before this particular transition is through, and with any other big change that comes my way. I thank the author for her encouraging, supportive words!

I love Kristen's writing and how relatable she is. Just a great book to read but by bit daily to help with any of life's changes!

The author has an engaging writing style and is a great storyteller. I didn't find a lot of practical advice or insightful Biblical truths in this book but it was very easy to read.
