Life Is Messy, God Is Good

Sanity for the Chaos of Everyday Life

De: Cynthia Yanof

Narrado por: Cynthia Yanof

Cynthia Yanof knows how sloppy, slippery, and downright hard life can be. But as she reminds us through her laugh-out-loud stories and heartfelt companionship, God’s not surprised when we drop the ball, lose our cool, or struggle to put our Spanx on in the morning. He can use our ridiculous messes and even the really difficult I-didn’t-sign-up-for-this losses to shape us.

In Life Is Messy, God Is Good, Cynthia invites us to reframe our perspective on the challenges we face so we can see God at work—and laugh more along the way. Join her in discovering how:

• We can be faithful to God’s purposes right where we are—baseball carpool, dog groomer, and even chaperoning the dreaded zoo field trip.
• We come to realize one of life’s greatest blessings is a handful of crazy, godly friends (who aren’t afraid to tell you to retire your outfit).
• When we let go of who the world says we should be, we are free to become who God created us to be.

Whether you are navigating a difficult new season, working late on another deadline, or simply horrified that your morning routine now includes plucking chin hair, Life Is Messy, God Is Good offers an encouraging and hilarious reminder that God is at work in you—even in the mess.

Made me laugh and think

The author did a great job sharing stories from her life as illustrations for larger points. It is chockful of wisdom that is delivered in humor. I rarely laugh out loud while listening to an audiobook, but I did with this one. The author reads it herself, which adds to the joy of listening. For those who have ever looked at their spiritual journey and pondered where it was going, there is something in this book that will likely speak to your heart.

Funny, relatable and biblically sound

Loved this book! Well done Cynthia! As I summed it up in the title of my review… I found this book to be funny, relatable and biblically sound. Can’t wait to read your next one

Great listen

This book was hilarious and made me think. It was fun to hear her stories about the things God has done in her life.

Absolutely loved!!

Beautifully written and loved how you pointed to Jesus in all of your stories!! Thank you for inspiring me to do that as well!

Belly laughs and a tear jerker!

Absolutely loved it, it was uplifting, encouraging, down to earth and so enjoyable. She made me laugh and she made me cry. Really thought provoking!

A light hearted spiritual listen with much needed laughs

This book was a good listen. The author is easy to listen to and I’m so glad she chose to narrate herself. The humor in this book is therapy in itself. A wonderful laugh out loud, lighthearted, fill your cup sort of book.

I LOVED this book

This book was an absolute masterpiece, left me both laughing uncontrollably and deeply moved with compassion—sometimes within the span of just a few pages. I didn’t really expect to feel so many emotions, but the author’s balance humor with heartfelt, raw moments had me hooked from the very beginning. There were times I was laughing so hard that tears rolled down my face, only to find myself reflecting on the depth of life’s challenges in the very next chapter. Highly, highly, highly reccomend.

Perfect title

This book hit all the points. A friend and myself were reading at the same time and it hit our lives differently but the same. When I picked this book didn’t even know the foster care aspect. As a foster parent all I can say is I felt and feel all of those words. She does a wonderful job articulating life and bringing Jesus to the front.

Laughing along the whole way!

I loved the way Cynthia tells her story throughout this book, she is so hilarious and I can see in my minds eye exactly what she’s describing as she is setting the scene.
Her love and understanding of Jesus is so amazing, and she helps others to feel his love without being intimidated.

Not the best

It was a lot of specific memories of her life. I didn’t learn much and couldn’t finish.
