Inspired Reads

When single mom Marguerite Carr’s son leaves for college, she feels as though her life has lost its purpose. When a friend drags Marguerite to a drawing class – her first since college – she rediscovers her long-lost passion for painting, finds unexpected love, and begins a relationship with God.

Where was God? Bobbi Molinsky’s comfortable life is shattered when a forwarded email from her husband’s account lands in her inbox. The email teases, “My whole evening is free again.” After an angry confrontation with Chuck, she is left with the broken remains of an eighteen year marriage. Where is God?

Bobbi agrees forgiving Chuck is the right thing, the God-honoring thing to do, but it leaves her empty and isolated. Teaching her second-graders is a burden. Taking care of her boys saps all her energy. It seems God Himself has walked away, leaving her to struggle alone. Is God faithful? Bobbi can’t deny the transformation in Chuck, but genuine forgiveness requires trust, and trust is a risk she’s not willing to take.

Can she let go of her deepest, most primal fears and save her marriage?
