Get Back Up by Sheryl Giesbrecht Book Review


Get Back Up, Trusting God When Life Knocks You Down by Sheryl Giesbrecht is a book full of what some might call miracles in the lives of everyday people. She shares with us not only her own worst nightmares, but the nightmares of others who have sought her help.

Trusting God When Life Knocks You Down
Life is not always easy or fair for the follower of Christ. Yet, Sheryl Giesbrecht has learned, from the depths of past pain, it is possible to be raised up. It is possible to heal. Most importantly, it is possible to exchange hurt for hope. In her inspirational new book, Get Back Up: Trusting God When Life Knocks You Down,
Sheryl tells her own story. She uses scripture to tell the stories of so many other Biblical figures who stumbled before they could be helped up. Sheryl’s message is one of hope. Trusting God in the midst of a life turned upside down is essential to survival. Without Him, life would not be worth living. Climbing out of the pits of despair would be impossible. Yes, with God to lean on, finding hope is possible. Healing is possible. God is capable of taking our losses and mistakes and turning them into something remarkably beautiful. Won’t you let Him?"

My Review; I read Sheryl Giesbrecht's story I was deeply touched. Not only by the personal accounts of so many others, but also her telling of her own experiences good and bad. She talks of how she coped and carried on after she lost her husband in a tragic accident. I know what it feels like to lose a spouse of many years suddenly, and she tells her story with much feeling and love for not only her late husband but also her children. I give this book a 5/5 and I recommend it to anyone who has suffered a loss or has survived what seems to be the impossible. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group but all opinions are my own.
