About this ebook

Let's be honest. We're frequently disappointed. With family, friends, leaders, work, ourselves, church - sometimes, dare we say it, even with God.

'You carry the tears inside,' is the author's description.

Disappointment can be devastating. It can be sudden. And it's certainly universal.

But what if we were to use disappointment as an opportunity to check whether our motivation and priorities were in line with God's will? Could it provide a chance to grow?

'The author brings the wisdom of a skilled pastor and Bible teacher to this illuminating book.' Ian and Ruth Coffey

'Demonstrates that disappointments are designed by our loving and all-sovereign God to draw us into deeper intimacy with him.' Sharon James

'A book that was lived out before it was written.' Peter Lewis

'Every disappointment becomes an opportunity to grow deeply in God.' Charles Price
