Life Interrupted: Navigating the Unexpected Paperback – March 1, 2011

I stumbled upon this book looking for more literature from Priscilla Shirer in my local library's ebook collection. This happened to be the only Shirer book they had. God brought this book to me at just the right time! It ministered to me at exactly the point of need.Shirer's writing is so personal. Her voice is honest and welcoming. God has truly gifted her to minister in the written word. Somehow the sentiments of her heart (of God's heart) come through the pages of her books with such clarity and warmth that you feel as if she is writing a personal letter just to you. It's a fireside chat, coffee with friends, a confidence shared between sisters. What I really appreciate about this book and others that I've read is that it's not a bunch of fluff. The woman has definitely been in the Bible and done her research. Every claim is Biblically sound, making the Word of God accessible and inviting.The last pages left me humbled to tears. God is awesome. Surrender to his will for your life. You won't be disappointed. Read this book!

Very easy to read and understand. Great book

This is the first of Priscilla Shirer's books that I've read. Her writing style is conversational at times and intellectually instructive at others. She includes examples from her own life, making it very personal. But most importantly, she redirected my thinking. That is what I look for in a book devoted to Christian living. To see life's changes as God interventions rather than interruptions shifted and undergirded my belief in His sovereignty. At a time when one is facing big life changes (or even small irritating ones) this truth sustains one. The first chapter is worth the price. I'm so glad Providence bright this book to me at just the right time.

Where to begin? Spot on. Practical. Relevant. Interruptions are often divine appointments and disguised opportunities, once we pause long enough to correctly discern.

Wow! Where do I start? Oh I know. At the end. The best it yet to come! I read this book as part of a 21-day Women’s Fast during a season my life when my family is preparing to place my 21 year old son with severe intellectual disabilities into a group home. The thought of it still concerns me even as I write this review but I can see glimpses of God’s divine intervention all throughout this journey. I know that God opened up this door for us because the physical and emotional journey has been overwhelming to say the least BUT God is doing a new thing in our lives and I am encouraged to allow this Life Interruption to bring God all the glory. I trust God that the best is yet to come.

We are working through this chapter book as well as the workbook. You do not need the chapter book if you have the workbook as a lot of the info is repeated. There will be some stuff that is not repeated but I feel the workbook is sufficient. This chapter book does not include any discussion questions which is why we added the workbook. Had I purchased the workbook first, we would have been set! I love the way Priscilla writes! She is so down to earth and easy to connect with!

Such an AMAZINNNGG book!!! Really blessed and enlightened me! Very well-written!! I love how Priscilla breaks down the story of Jonah and relates it to our modern day life explaining how God has called each one of us. And how many of what we think might be life interruptions are actually God’s divine interventions. Enjoy this wonderful book!

I so needed this book right now. My life is in a very long interruption, a very long season of waiting on God's promise to me. I have no doubt that it's His intervention in my life, a plan He is working for me and for His Glory. I haven't been running from God's intervention the way Jonah did. But Priscilla has given me such wonderful insight as to God's reasoning, purposes and plans for my waiting. I know in the end when all is revealed it will be well worth the wait! Praise God......I highly recommend this book if you are also wandering in the wilderness, it's taught me how to Trust God even more!! God Bless <3
