Description
Foreword by Mandy Arioto, President of MOPS International
Teresa Swanstrom Anderson is living the life she thought she never wanted. With an art history degree and dreams of living in Europe as a curator, Teresa had big plans for herself. She had no desire to have kids -- didn't even like them -- but after a decision to lay her exciting plans at the feet of Christ, God began changing her heart little by little. While dating the man who eventually became her husband, the two felt called to adopt from Africa.
Now, Teresa's house is bursting at the seams with the loves of her life -- her husband, Ben, and their six children, four of whom were born in Ethiopia. She believes in celebrating the everyday and instilling the love of God and others in her children's hearts. She views her life as a series of redirected dreams, stumbling, falling, getting up, and wondering if she is investing her time where it matters most. Through it all, Teresa grasps joy tightly amid the craziness of everyday life.
Go from dreaming about your life to living it fully with God in control. Pick up this book, grab a notebook, curl up on the couch, and open your heart to the potential of allowing your life to become beautifully interrupted.
Includes reflection questions and Bible study prompts. Have you gotten so caught up in life and your well-intentioned plans that you may have accidentally planned God right out of it all? Teresa Swanstrom Anderson did just that. Her carefully laid out life changed course when she whispered to God, "Send me. Use me." Be inspired as you read Beautifully Interrupted and learn the importance of giving your plans back to God and allow Him to expand the borders of your life and heart. This book offers strategies and encouragement for living through the in-between times of waiting, as well as facing trials with grace and active faith. Become equipped to brave the storms and embrace the life-changing power of seeking God's plan first and sacrificing time and set plans in favor of something far greater.

I love Teresa Swanstrom Anderson's blog and this book really fed my soul in the best ways. The author shares how to embrace the life God gave you, letting Him have the wheel and enjoying the journey. She shares her own journey, which was empowering and gave me reassurance that God's way is best. This book is wonderful!

“Closing one eye and bringing the device to the other, we’d see nothing but blurry scenes. Yet with a few twists of our wrists, it all came into clear focus, so close that we’d reach out expecting to touch it”. This was my favorite quote out of the book. This book is so beautifully written. I recommend anybody who is religious to read it. It’s definitely an eye opener. I have learned so many things about the journey God will sent me on. This book takes you on the Journey of Teresa. It describes the lessons God gave her and how she realized what he was saying. I loved it.
