Welcome to the Takeover Tour for When God Says “No” by Elizabeth Laing Thompson, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: When God Says “No”: Facing Disappointment and Denial without Losing Heart, Losing Hope, or Losing Your Head
Author: Elizabeth Laing Thompson
Publisher: Shiloh Run Press
Release Date: May 1, 2021
Genre: Christian Nonfiction
No is not a four-letter word, but it certainly feels like one.
It’s one thing to feel God’s love when life goes your way, but what happens to your faith when life doesn’t go as you had planned?
When prayers go unanswered and dreams unfulfilled?
When the sick stay sick and the dead do not rise?
When you’re lost in the desert and the Promised Land seems like empty promise?
When God says, “No,” how do you grapple with disappointment?
Author Elizabeth Laing Thompson walks alongside readers as she tackles the difficulties that stymie our faith, stifle our prayers, and stunt our relationship with God. When God Says, “No” will help you to discover hope when life feels hopeless, good in what feels bad, and new dreams when old ones have died. This book is a fantastic reminder of Who is in charge—Who He is and how He works. How He loves us and why He limits us. The better we know Him, the more we understand that He says “No” to a few things, so He might say “Yes” to many more.

MY REVIEW
This book will likely resonate with many readers, as everyone has encountered times when God has said “no.” The author shares personal stories of how she’s handled situations in her own life. She uses them to remind the reader that God is still righteous, fair, kind, and in control. She also weaves in biblical stories (related to Moses, Eve, Naaman, Abraham, Paul, David, Naomi, Cain, David, Jesus, and Miriam).
Each chapter includes items for further study, a prayer prompt, and journal prompts.
Overall, the book is a good reminder that we’re not alone and that God isn’t finished with us yet.

There have been many times that God has said “no” in my life, and I’m sure there will be more. This book would be helpful to all believers.
I agree, on both parts. Good luck, Roxanne!
