Publisher's DescriptionWhat do you do when your dreams are shattered? What do you do when your life isn’t turning out the way you thought? What do you do when you have to turn to Plan B? Pete Wilson reaches beyond the typical Christian response to offer frank understanding, honest encouragement, and real hope for your Plan B reality. Drawing on real-life stories from the Bible (David, Joseph, Mary, and Martha) and the present day, he writes to help you:
Praise for Plan B “What do you do when you wake upwith shattered dreams and unmet expectations? Pete Wilson’s book, Plan B, offers honest encouragement andspiritual insights when life doesn’t go as planned.” —Craig Groeschel, senior pastor,LifeChurch.tv, and author of TheChristian Atheist “If your life is going according to plan, if your pain level is low andyour ease meter is high, you probably don’t need this book. But for the rest ofus, I am glad it’s around.” —John Ortberg, pastor and author, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church “Pete Wilson is a fresh voice forall today who wonder if they’ve missed God’s best life and are relegated togathering dust. He provides honest hope, a sound biblical base, and realanswers. What also touched me as a reader was his warmth and authenticity. Agreat read for us all.” —Dr. John Townsend, author of Boundaries, psychologist, and business coach “No matter what you’re going through, Plan B will help you getthrough it. Plan B is a down-to-earth book written by a down-to-earthpastor. Authentic hope is only a book away!” —Mark Batterson, senior pastor, National Community Church,and author of Primal “Pete Wilson is a young, dynamicleader with a growing church and a heart to see people reach out and findChrist in the midst of any and every circumstance. His sincerity and desire todisarm some of life’s difficult twists and turns with godly perspective willhelp anyone struggling with life’s realities and Plan B.” —Brian Houston, senior pastor, Hillsong Church “Hope is packaged and sold in manydifferent ways in our society, often wrapped with false promises and anunrealistic view of life. This is why PlanB is such an important book. Pete deals openly and honestly with thedisappointments we experience, pointing us to a hope that endures, sustains,and overcomes. We all knowpeople who have walked away from God because of Plan B experiences, notrealizing that these are the moments God uses the most. Pete shows us that we don’thave to deny the reality of what we face. We simply need to embrace the realityof a God who loves us and who is greater than our greatest disappointments.After all, His Plan B for our lives is the best plan of them all.” —Jeff Henderson, pastor, Buckhead Church “Pete Wilson is a tremendous communicator whose warmth and care forpeople are evident on every page of this fantastic book. Plan B is apowerful resource for the detours of our lives. I wish this book would havebeen available years ago when some of my Plan As crashed, but I’m so thankfulfor the wisdom of its pages for my Plan Bs today.” —Jud Wilhite, senior pastor, Central Christian Church, and author of EyesWide Open “While reading Plan B, I cheered, wept, and rediscovered partsof my faith that I’d long given up on finding. Like a conversation with an oldfriend, Pete Wilson’s reflections about God and life are engaging, sensitive,and moving. As far as I’m concerned, if you’re working on plan A, Plan Bis a good prerequisite.” —Matthew Paul Turner, author of Churched and Hear No Evil “In a generation that faces everincreasing disappointment with life, this book masterfully reminds us that Godis at work and turns everything around for good. As you read Plan B, you will sense the genuine loveand concern from a pastor who cares. Well done, Pete.” —Chris Hodges, pastor, Church ofthe Highlands “If Plan A for your life isn’tworking out too well, you’re not alone. In this book, Pete Wilson helps youmake sense of life’s frustrations and disappointments. The stories in Plan B remind you once again that God,who began a good work in you, is faithful to complete it. Pete is a passionatevoice for a new generation of Christians. He is a man who lives what he writes.” —Robert Emmitt, senior pastor, Community Bible Church “Pete Wilson tells the truth. Following Jesus is hard . . . reallyhard. Plan B is not another book filled with pat answers to life’s mostpainful questions; it is a bold yet gracious exploration of how the love of Godsustains when the broken dreams and shattered expectations of life threaten tooverwhelm us.” —Ian Morgan Cron, speaker and author of Chasing Francis: A Pilgrim’sTale Publisher's WeeklyThis new young voice in evangelical Christian circles, a pastor and church planter in Nashville, finds a distinctive way to weave Bible stories with his own and other life stories. People develop Plan B, Wilson argues, when life does not deliver what someone wants. It also entails a firm belief that God is there both in the failure of Plan A and in the redemption that comes in Plan B. Wilson draws on other Christian writers and thinkers as well as the Bible; the foundation for Plan B comes from such Bible texts as John 16:33, in which Jesus says, 'In this life you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world.' Wilson cautions that taking only one part of this teachingeither the trouble part or the overcoming partleads to bad theology. Good theology comes from holding these two together in tension, balancing disappointment and suffering with faith in a loving God. While the teaching is sound, the way he delivers it needs tweaking; Wilson's writing lacks the kind of humility that draws the reader in. (May) Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
