During a time of deep distress or disappointment, have you cried out to God, &;Why is this happening? What did I do to deserve this? How will I recover from this? Does God care about what I am going through? Why did He allow this?&; Not Too Far from Here is for anyone who has been hurt. Hurt so badly it&;s hard to eat or sleep. You attempt to present yourself as being okay for the sake of your kids, spouse, or friends, but you are really not okay. With biblical insight and compassion, Kim Boyce Koreiba shares her story, providing essential and doable steps to bring you comfort, encouragement, direction, and hope. Place your hand firmly into the hand of Jesus Christ, the Savior. Call upon His Spirit to learn how not to fall prey to a victim mentality after being wounded. You can trust Him. Stand up, brush yourself off, and believe that God has a plan. Jesus&;your hope&;is not too far from here.
I definitely enjoyed this short but impactful read from a great contemporary Christian music artist (who I was a fan of in the 90s) that shares personal insight from a time when she and her husband went through a difficult season of hurt. Packed with Scripture references and practical Christian advice, I will read it again! I had no idea she also has her masters in Christian counseling; after reading this book (could be a borderline devotional or great Christian book club read) I have even more respect for her!
