God’s Not Done with You

Is God still good when life seems disappointing? In God’s Not Done with You, John Meador shares encouragement from the Bible’s greatest comeback stories. This inspirational book examines nine moving biblical stories from the angle of setbacks and disappointments. Viewing them from this perspective allows Meador to teach the truth that God is faithful in our failures.

Readers may be familiar with the heroic stories of Moses, David, Abigail, Esther, Joseph, Jonah, Elijah, Hezekiah, and Peter — but Meador treats them as fallible humans with real emotions. Meador weaves in examples from his own life as well as stories from his work as a pastor. He does an excellent job of taking familiar stories from the Bible and applying their lessons to your own faith.

Moving and Inspirational

I was most pleased to read about Peter, as I was preparing a message on the exact same passage he used. Peter had denied Christ, and was feeling like a failure. But Jesus reached out to him, calling him to trust him again. I also learned from Hezekiah’s story - one that I did not know as well as the others. God has a reason for our time on earth, and we must rely on his grace to get us through.

This will be a moving and inspirational read for anyone going through a challenging season. It will strengthen your faith in God’s goodness, and help you see the big picture of his plans. Pastors and leaders will find this book helpful in pointing others to hope. God’s not done with you. He who began a good work in you will complete it.
