Getting Through What You're Going Through: Comfort, Hope, And Encouragement from the 23rd Pslams

by Robert A. Schuller

Whether you're facing divorce, illness, the death of someone you love, a financial setback, or any other seemingly insurmountable problem, this book can be the answer to your prayers. Schuller's ten principles will take you verse-by-verse through the Twenty-third Psalm, while breaking down barriers to healing, including self-pity, guilt, fear, and the inability to forgive. Above all, Getting Through What You're Going Through proves the healing power of faith and prayer. "To get through what you're going through, you must be willing to be carried, and that takes trusting," explains Schuller. "Let go and let God support you, and your faith will lead you out of the valley into the Promised Land."

Some of the best books I have read in my life are those that I have stumbled on by chance, the ones that you don’t even recognize the author, the ones that no one within your circle of friends seems to have heard about let alone reading. Normally they are least reviewed and mostly, in a bookstore, you will find them on dirty shelves. I call them the unvisited ones and Getting Through What You’re Going Through didn’t turn out to be an exception only that the author, Robert A. Schuller the son of Crystal Cathedral founder Robert H. Schuller is a well-known pastor and distinguished author in his own right.
In Getting through he goes through the entire chapter of Psalms 23 and subdivides it into 10 sections which makes the 10 chapters of the book. The idea itself is ingenious but how he takes each segment with perfectly tuned illustrations of his own life from divorce to remarrying and having kids and still be able to bring you in his shoes is what is breathtaking.
When you are in the fog of desperation, depression, doubt, confusion and helplessness this masterpiece is a must read. Schuller, from the onset, talks about how “one of the ways I keep going when my troubles seem to be overwhelming is to remember how God has helped me through other difficult times, so I began to review my life and remember the times God has turned impossibilities into possibilities.” I have never felt so uplifted and close to God than I did when I finished the final chapter of this book.
The only downside I noticed and precisely why I didn’t give the book a five star is because Schuller used the platform and overly promoted their weekly television program broadcast Hour of Power which is mentioned countless of times in the book. Nevertheless it’s a great book.

My father in law gave me a bunch of books to try and sell just to lighten his load on his bookshelf. This was one of them and I decided to read it instead when I was going through a little bout of depression.

Getting Through What You're Going Through was hard to get through. Lol. Not because it wasn't good, because it actually really was, but every time I put it down, I had to really motivate myself to pick it back up. That's pretty tough with a less than 200 page book.

I did however read this and feel really hopeful and encouraged and it helped get me out of my bout. I found the stories really relatable and interesting and even eye opening.

The only thing I didn't like was at times it felt like he was pushing their televised church program Hour of Power. It was mentioned numerous times and didn't really need to be.

I would recommend it for anyone going through something and even if you're not, it's still a really good read.

This is a good concept that was pulled off pretty well
