“ For I know the plans that I have for you, ” declares the Lord, “ plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. ” —Jeremiah 29:11 (NASB)
We all make plans. But what happens when the unexpected strikes—an illness, a diagnosis, a crisis—and everything unravels? How do our carefully crafted dreams fit into the larger, loving plans God has designed for us personally?
The Fifth Season invites readers into a deeper experience of trust when facing life-altering health challenges. Whether you are the patient, the caregiver, or the supportive friend standing beside someone in pain, this book offers assurance that God is present, purposeful, and tenderly engaged in every moment.
Through heartfelt reflections and spiritual insight, you will discover:
• How to live each moment fully surrendered to God’s guidance
• How suffering, fear, and uncertainty can open the way to deeper faith
• How God brings unexpected meaning and beauty out of life’s most difficult seasons
• How His embrace becomes the safest place—even in the face of dire illness
God deeply cares about every step of your journey. As you follow His gentle call, you may find yourself traveling a path you never would have chosen—but one that leads into His secure, sustaining, and hope-filled arms.
