About this listen
Best-selling author, cofounder of Girlfriends in God, and writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries Sharon Jaynes reveals the secret to living a better story: understanding that the worst parts of our past are the very things God uses most.
Many people don't like the story God is writing in their lives. The mistakes, failures, tragedies, and circumstances outside of our control linger in our minds and hold us back. How do we come to grips with the pieces of our stories that we wish weren't there? How do we silence the pain of what has been done to us and the shame of what we've allowed to be done through us?
In When You Don't Like Your Story, Bible teacher Sharon Jaynes shows us how God untangles our most painful emotions with the fingers of grace, putting his redemption on display. In the hardest parts of our narratives, we get to see God's greatest work - and this changes the ending of our stories. As we overcome shame, offer forgiveness, and use our stories to help others, we find freedom from the past and learn to live in the restoration of the present.
Accompanying Bible verses, prayers, and study guide are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Words are one of the most powerful forces in the universe, and they can be used for good or evil. When God created our world, He did so with words. He said Let there be...and it was so. While our words cannot bring into existence things that are not, they do have the power to build courage into a husband's life, instill confidence into a child's heart, fan into flames the dying embers of a friend's smoldering dreams, and draw the lost to Christ. This book is for every woman who desires to use her words to build up rather than tear down....

What does it feel like to come back from something hard, to be able to hope again? Hard things are a part of life. Yet they don’t have to have the final word. They can become the keys to our greatest usability in the kingdom of God - that is, if we let God make good of them, rather than running away and refusing the growth we truly crave. Written for those who desperately want to move forward, The Hard Good gives voice to the hard places we all have lived and Lisa’s clear directions as to where to go next.

Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a season, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned at best and overwhelmed and hopeless at worst. We quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness and why he allows us to suffer and experience grief and loss. Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But after many tears, godly counseling, and prayerful seeking, she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God.

When we live with unresolved anger or hurt, the result is nearly always bitterness, broken relationships, and unhealthy behaviors.

In her most vulnerable writing yet, Ruth Graham reveals how a visit to Angola Prison inspired her to release the unforgiveness lurking in her own heart - toward others, herself, and even her heavenly Father and her earthly father, evangelist Billy Graham.

Story
From an early age, Alex Seeley was told she was an accident, but she also carried the weight of feeling stupid. Labels like these, sometimes spoken over us by well-meaning people, can cause us to believe lies about ourselves that make us question why we were born and what our purpose on earth could be. Yet, according to Psalm 139, God designed us in his image, with a unique DNA and amazing characteristics! We are loved and created for a purpose that only we can fulfill.

Newlywed Laura Story thought she had control over the great life ahead of her. After all, she followed Jesus and had a promising new job as a worship leader. Why would God not want to fulfill her dreams? But when Laura and her husband, Martin, faced a brain tumor, infertility, and a son’s birth defect, she realized she’d been looking for a happiness that comes from circumstances, rather than a deeper joy that comes from God. Again and again, Laura had to surrender her vision for her life so she could embrace God’s vision.

Are you ready to move from insecure to God secure? From regret riddled to better-because-of-it? From afraid to die to ready to fly? Today, find freedom in God's grace. We often talk about grace, but do we really understand it? Grace politely occupies a phrase in a hymn and fits nicely on a church sign. It never causes trouble or demands a response. When asked, "Do you believe in grace?" who could say no? Best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado helps us dive deeper into what it means to be changed by grace.

A powerful and encouraging book
I loved this book. It was exactly what I needed in this chapter of my life. I'm so thankful that God can use the good and the messy parts of my story. The narrator did an amazing job! Thank you Sharon Jaynes for being open and honest as you wrote this book. Your book reinforced what God has been teaching me this past year. May God richly bless you and your family.

Highly recommend this book!
What a great eye opener for me to realize I have allowed many others write my story and try to live that as though it’s true. I’m encouraged to write my own.

Such a Good Book
I bought this book on a whim, I’d never heard of the author but was familiar with Proverbs31 ministry she works with. I’m walking through a hurtful season now and the stories of people in the book, both historical and current, are so meaningful and encouraging. I’ve recommended this book to people in my life I’m close to, will recommend it here as well.

When I didn't like my best friend's story
This book brought me so much encourage in a time of loss. I lost my best friend to cancer unexpectantly. We were ready to fight and God's grace took her home before I was ready. I didnt like my friend's story. I wanted her to be able to fight for her life for her two young children, for the ministry she would leave behind. This book gave me a different lens, a soften heart to reality and a renewed hope in God.

You can change your story
Sharon Jaynes writes a heartfelt book filled with hope. She tells of times that life looked hopeless for herself or for others. She is a very good storyteller and shows how the story can change. She knows and tells how difficult this can be and that usually there are no quick fixes.
The narrator does a very good job of leading us through all of this in spoken form.
You might not like your story, and who of us like every chapter, but the author holds out hope for a good ending anyway. It's not easy but keep writing.

What I needed to hear
This is a great book and provided me some support for what I am experiencing in my life at this moment. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is in a rough chapter of their life. It’s a Christian book, but can apply to someone with any belief system.
