Riassunto:

Much of what happens in our lives is not what we planned, not what we expected, and certainly not what we would have chosen.

At a young age, Jaci Velasquez&;s singing career rocketed to stardom, and her marriage thrived&;then both suddenly crashed. Losing her reputation, her record label, and even some of her most-treasured relationships, Jaci began a long, healing journey from thinking of herself not as a Christian music darling or a broken young woman but as a beloved child of God. Today, her renewed faith carries her through a resurrected career, the adventures of a second marriage, and the ups-and-downs of being a mother of a child who has autism.  

When God Rescripts Your Life is Jaci&;s exploration of the lessons she&;s learned living a story full of mistakes and grace, rejection and contentment, worldly success and spiritual rest. Drawing on lessons from biblical characters such as Aaron, Joseph, and Paul, as well as from illustrations from her own life, Jaci reminds us how God loves to rewrite pain and weakness into a glorious tale of redemption. The most difficult parts of life don&;t need to be removed; they need to be rescripted.
