Synopsis: In You'll Get Through This, pastor and New York Times bestselling author, Max Lucado offers sweet assurance, "Deliverance is to the Bible what jazz music is to Mardi Gras: bold, brazzy, and everywhere." Whether you find yourself in the pit of financial downturn, job loss, health crisis, or relationship stresses, God has a plan and a pathway forward for you.

Max reminds readers that God doesn't promise that getting through trials will be quick or painless. That certainly wasn't the case for Jospeh who was tossed in a pit by his brothers, sold into slavery, wrongfully imprisioned, forgotten and dismissed, but God ultimately used the intended evil against Joseph for a greater purpose.

Review: One line in the whole book jumped out at me. On page 116, "Forgiveness doesn't diminish justice; it just entrusts it to God." 

I actually got a lot out of this book, and it was just what I needed. Work has been stressful and with my husband's health issues, this helped me reset my course. I really like Lucado's writing style and his ability to inject some humor into his (powerful) message.
