More from Rebecca

I felt lead to write Suddenly Unemployed – 52 Personal Stories of Hope & Encourgagement through Financial Crisis describing our family’s experience with job loss and financial crisis. I know firsthand not having the concentration needed to read a novel while enduring a crisis. My focus was on the basics necessities of shelter, food and clothing. Hence, I wrote fifty two bite size stories that can be read one per week for a year and split the sixteen year jouney into three distinct sections of entering, navigating and exiting the crisis.

Although this time period was painful, my trust and faith in God along with personal character grew. These qualities helped navigate me through further trials such as a COVID world, California wildland fire, loss of parents, empty nest syndrome and more.

Some people hide their struggles from others. I chose to openly share our story with the hope it will encourage the readers as they read about God’s goodness woven throughout our book. Perhaps they will say to themselves, “If God carried the Krusees through the toughest storme of their lives, maybe He will carry me and my family too.”

MY REVIEW

This is a timely book that everyone should read. With rising cost of food, gas and essentials many feel the impact of how to survive. The author shares personal accounts of how her family went through job loss and found hope. God sees the battles we face and is there to help us. I enjoyed the stories and scripture at the end of each chapter. 

The book is encouraging and illustrates how we should never give up. I like how the author and her husband were united in their faith and prayed as they faced difficulties. The stories share honest and vulnerable times where the situations seemed hopeless. I found that the book reminded me that we should pray for each other and reach out when we see a need. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
