Nashville, Tenn., pastor Peter Wilson’s Plan B: What Do You Do When God Doesn’t Show Up the Way You Thought He Would? is a book whose title speaks for itself. The author writes from his personal and pastoral experience with tragedy and unmet expectations. Along with the biblical stories of Ruth, Job, Joseph and others, he examines the disappointments and unexpected challenges that present themselves as opportunities to choose love and trust God.
The reality of the world is that pain and suffering exist, and eventually everyone will face difficult times. Being in control is nothing more than an illusion, but the truth is that God is much more concerned about transformation than destination. The call is to be faithful even when it seems He is far away, Wilson says. Community plays a huge role when everything isn’t going as planned, and transparency among believers opens the door to acceptance, love and healing.
Plan B offers encouragement to those struggling to redeem their decisions or who are facing doubts about their direction in life. Wilson’s pastoral heart speaks clearly, pointing to the cross of Christ as the ultimate solution of love and hope.
