When You Can't Just Get Over It: Biblical Insights for the Real World

by R.B. Ouellette

The real world isn't as idealistic as we expect. Although we would love to coast through life with little difficulty and minimal challenges, we often find ourselves facing barriers greater than our inner resources to scale. Injustice, insecurity, discouragement, bitterness, depression, severed relationships, rejection, confusion--they come at us from without and within. And no matter how many times we tell ourselves, "Just snap out of it" or our friends ask, "Why can't you just get over it?" real world problems don t evaporate. In the pages of Scripture, however, we discover that we are not alone. Throughout God's Word, we encounter men and women who faced--and overcame--these very challenges. In this book, Pastor R.B. Ouellette leads readers through the lives of ten Bible characters and draws insights that will help you overcome the same difficulties they faced. Better yet, you'll learn not how to "just get over it," but how to clear the hurdle and be better on the other side because you encountered it.

Very good, Biblical instructions for dealing with issues that happen to everyone in life. I was very blessed in the last chapter by a story I had never heard before of David and Svea Flood and their daughter Aggie!! Look it up if you don’t read this book!

This is a wonderful book that will touch your life in so many ways. I found this book in a Goodwill store while looking for inexpensive cookbooks. I had never heard of the author, pastor R.B. Ouellette, but the title intrigued me. I was experiencing emotions I couldn’t “just get over”, so I bought the book and took it home. After letting it sit on the shelf for several weeks, I finally got around to start reading . it has helped me so much and provided insights I desperately needed. I have highlighted many passages so I can quickly go back to important points. This book will benefit everyone as all our lives experience ups and downs. God never abandons us . He is ever present as you’ll see illustrated here.
