This book consists of 10 stories, divided into 5 chapters. Each chapter takes a theme: God is able when… “Life devastates”, “When I walk in darkness” and other similar themes. The first story in each chapter is a retelling, in wonderful detail, of a Bible story, and the second is a concise biography of a person living in modern times, who faced similar situations to the Bible character, and for whom God proved to be able.
All the stories are told in a realistic, easy-to-read way, and are gripping. The main thrust of the narrative is to encourage the reader to trust this God who is able to do so much more than we can do. This is definitely not a book for anyone who wants theology or in-depth spiritual insight, but ordinary Christians who feel daunted by the challenges of the Christian life are likely to be encouraged by reading it.
