What if the unexpected is the beginning of becoming your truest self?

Jillian Benfield was living life in the spotlight as a TV journalist, but after receiving a life-altering diagnosis for her unborn son, she realized no camera-ready outfit could dress up her grief.

Overcoming this unexpected circumstance wasn't an option. She would have to undergo it instead. In doing so, she discovered who she was and who God wanted her to become.

In this riveting story filled with grit and grace, Jillian helps you break down the false constructs you've built around God and your identity. You won't avoid your pain, but you'll learn to feel it, in a healing way. And you'll discover how your internal transformation leads to external purpose.

No matter what you're going through, you're invited to open this gift: The Gift of the Unexpected.

author is all over the place, very emotionally driven. the part where she goes full woke is disgusting.

Not biblical! Not sound!

As a woman married to someone with a disability, I was very excited to listen to this book. The narration was not my favorite style; it sounded more like the narration of a child’s story with the tone of a damsel in distress.

She made a few good points in her story and I enjoyed listening to her life experiences. However, I was most disappointed in Benfield’s presentation of Biblical principles and truths. I found faulty theology somewhere between “pick and choose what you want to believe from the Bible” and a prosperity gospel.

Disappointing Presentation of the Gospel
