Sooner or later, we all come across challenges and even crises in our lives. This book by Charles Swindoll is encouraging and compassionate, teaching us to respond in ways that pleases God and that leads to results that are better for our souls and our relationships with Him and the people around us.. I like the author's use of lessons from the Bible as well as stories from his own life as well as those of others to illustrate his points. Besides biblical principles, expect to find lots of practical tips.

Charles Swindoll is an evangelical Christian pastor, author, educator, and radio preacher and we enjoy listening to his podcasts. I also have a few of his books on my shelves. This one would definitely be a helpful and useful addition to any home, church, or public library. I will certainly look into adding this title to my church library.

Very good book by Charles Swindoll! So often our lives don't turn out according to our own plans. Even so, our God is still in complete control. Our God is good and reigning on the throne. He loves us and wants to see everything work out according to His purposes and plans. But, what happens when life takes us on a detour? Is it still part of God's plan? The title says it all, "What if ... God has other plans?" Oh, God is still in control and able to do great things. It all starts with our relationship with His Son Jesus! It is about His plans for our lives and keeping a surrendered heart as we seek Him in our daily lives. Whatever He wills...

"What if God has other plans" by Charles Swindoll is a non fiction book. Charles Swindoll is a pastor and wrote this book from very successful sermons. He many unexpected issues that can turn our lives around. Some of these unexpected issues are: sudden loss, betrayal, caring for a family member with a disability and many other issues. He explained the issue in a very personal way. He ties scripture into the issue to help us see life from God's perspective. These issues can send us spinning and wondering how to handle our lives. He gives very personal and practical examples that help the reader cope with their trials. The book is a great resource for the Christian facing various trials. I appreciate the publisher and netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book. I will send my review to Goodreads, Amazon, facebook, my blog, CBD.com and to the church staff. .

Are you or someone you love going through a life change that you never expected? This book is for you!! What if God has a plan for your life that is even better than anything you could imagine? Chuck Swindoll helps us see that if a door closes on what we wanted, maybe its because God has other plans...better plans. Plans to give us a hope and a future!! I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially to those who have had their life take an unexpected turn.
