This book is wonderful! It is well written and shows what God can do with a broken marriage if you let him. I highly recommend this book.
In this series, this author has opened my eyes to what leaning on God and giving it all to God is all about. He does so by way of some hard topics. This one is no exception. How one’s sin affects the whole family and how the need to look solely to God and not ourselves. Extremely well written. I absolutely loved it!!!!! Highly recommend. I received an advance reader copy from the author. Opinions are my own.
Rachel found out something about her husband that was a big surprise. It wasn’t something she would want to know. To be able to save their marriage she would have to forgive him.
West in for a surprise when he Rachel tells him what she found out. They definitely have a lot to work through with God’s help.
This story is something that happens in everyday life. I love how the author teaches us through Rachel and West’s story. They learned a lot by going to their church groups. It does a lot of work to get through what happened.
I received an advanced copy of the book from the author. This book review is my own opinion.
T.K. Chapin is fast becoming one of my favorite authors to read. His stories do not show a quick fix to your problems. Instead they depict the human condition, flawed individuals trying to get through life, hurting the ones we love and trying to get better at loving God and each other.
This story touches on a topic that affects more people and families than people realize. Pornography is a marriage breaker, heart stirrer, doubt whisperer and tragically can cause family separation. This story defects a family that love each other that want to do the right things for their family. But when Rachel discovers porn on West’s computer, the trust is broken in their relationship.
The reality of navigating through the hurt is much harder than most would want to believe. Being able to stop and trying to rebuild trust and having a loving relationship again is a difficult journey.
Will Rachel and West try to solve this problem on their own? Is there a way God can heal broken trust? Can you ever love again? Will the family survive this betrayal?
T. K. Chapin tackles tough subjects with understanding and compassion. Every marriage hits tough spots, some tough to get through than others. Also it is easier to see the problems with your partner than your own. A honest conversation with each other is important but a conversation with God is imperative for successful forgiveness and coming back together. This book gets to the heart of a common heartbreaking problem. I highly recommend it.
West has been hiding a secret from Rachel for years. When Rachel discovers the secret West has been hiding she doesn’t know what to do. Pastor Matt is truly a amazing man. He is the perfect person to help West and Rachel get on the right track with their marriage. When Rachel finally gives in and goes to Susan’s bible study her life will change. You will see God working throughout this wonderful story. I had the honor to review this book for the author for a honest review. I would give this book a higher rating than a five star review if I could. T.K Chapin is truly a inspirational author. I have read most of his books and I can’t stop reading them.
T.K. Chapin does a wonderful job of delving into all the emotions of broken trust in a marriage. I enjoyed the book and the hope that it shares that once we fully surrender our will to God, then He is able to restore what has been broken. I really like the fact that things aren’t sugar coated; that the reality of hurt and broken trust, and anger are dealt with in this story. I like the way that T.K. Chapin always makes his readers aware that only through God and allowing Him to work can people find help and hope to move forward. I received an complimentary copy of this book, but have chosen to freely share my own opinions and thoughts.
Rachel and West have what appears to be your typical marriage after you add in a couple kids, a house, jobs, and just general life. Things are going along ok, but they don’t feel as “in love” as they used to be. Add in a terrible secret that West has been hiding for more years than they have been married, and you have the recipe for relationship disaster. Will marriage counseling help? Can they turn this issue over to God and begin again? Can Rachel ever forgive West and trust him once more? All these questions and more are answered in Trusting Him to Lead. Whether you recognize yourself, or someone you may know in this storyline, you for sure won’t be able to put it down. I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are my own.
I like that this story is about Trusting God so we can forgive what seems to be the unforgiveable. I like that it points back to how we all have sinned & He has forgiven us. The beauty of the cross is forgiveness for all. We don’t have to hold on to the darkness of unforgiveness anymore. Yes there are reap what you sow but there is also healing. I like that in this story there is restoration for both Rachel & West. I like that statistics are brought up for those involved in pornography & the diabolicalness of this sin. I like how ways of healing are brought out in the book & that the emphasis for healing is mostly our relationship with GOD that needs to be nourished constantly
This is a heart wrenching story of a marriage gone bad when one discovers something about their mate that totally goes against God. It is a beautiful story in that it shows not only the heartache and distrust that festers into near destruction of the marriage, but by turning to God there’s hope in healing their hearts and learning to put their trust in God.
