"'Betrayed by God?' will guide you out of your brokenness and into God's blessedness. Shana gives you practical steps to lead you by the hand into the comforting arms of our loving God. Her principles parallel closely those which helped heal my soul after I felt betrayed by God in the wake of the flash flood that engulfed the lives of my wife and all four children in 2003. If your heart is shattered, read this book. It will help you surrender your fragments back to God so He can bring forth something wonderful from them."

Betrayed by God?
Making Sense of Your Expectations
Heartbreak. Disappointment. Betrayal. These are words everyone is familiar with. They may have first been experienced in high school, when one teen loses her best friend because of a silly fight. Or in college, when a relationship ends. Or in adulthood, when jobs are lost, divorces break families apart, or children fall into destruction. Heartbreak. Disappointment. Betrayal. Life as we know it has fallen apart. And we’re blaming God for not preventing it.
In Betrayed by God?, author Shana Schutte invites readers to take an honest look at themselves and their relationships with God. Based on her own experience of believing God had betrayed her, she helps readers determine why they feel betrayed when life hurts through honest exploration and sound biblical wisdom. With hope and help for the hurting, Shana gives readers practical tools and encouragement as they make sense of their expectations and find healing through a loving God.
