About this book

Life doesn’t always go the way we hope it will. Whether it’s singleness, childlessness or some other big disappointment, it’s hard to be content when life lets us down.

For many years, author Jennie Pollock has struggled to feel content. With warmth and honesty, she answers common doubts that arise when life doesn't go the way we had hoped: Is God good? Is he enough? Is he worth it?

She walks readers through the process of taking our eyes off the things we wish we had and instead enjoying the character of the God we do have—a God who is good, who meets all our needs, and whose promises are ...

Endorsements

If you live long enough, you will be confronted with the crushing disappointment that life in a broken world brings. This presents us with a dilemma: do we run away in bitterness over life’s sorrows or do we run to Jesus for comfort and true contentment? Jennie Pollock understands disappointment and longing and lovingly shows us where lasting peace can be found when life is not what you expected it to be. This book is an encouragement to any who are dealing with their own “if only” questions.

Courtney Reissig Author of Teach Me to Feel and Glory in the Ordinary

This is a timely message for our generation, filled with the wisdom that comes from living something rather than merely talking about it. Jennie’s meditations on contentment will strengthen anyone wrestling with an ‘if only’ in their Christian life.

Andrew Wilson Teaching Pastor, King's Church London; Author, God of All Things

This book is for anyone who has ever wondered why God is withholding the very thing their heart desires. I found myself nodding in agreement on every page. Biblical, insightful and immensely helpful.

5.00 stars A comforting kick up the butt

 

I needed a book which would encourage me, comfort me and lift my gaze, which it completely did, whilst giving me a kick up the butt into a time of repentance for my lack of trust in God and 'me focused' perspective. Quite annoying really as I was hoping to dwell a little in the 'why me' and 'if only...'

5.00 stars A stunning book

 

This book is brilliant! I heard an interview with Jennie on TWR and I thought she was funny and very kind hearted. I ordered her book and it's changed my perspective on life and bought me so much closer to God.

5.00 stars Thought provoking

 

I found this very easy to read. The first few chapters were particularly challenging. For me, I have struggled with singleness a lot longer than Jenny. So many of her points I had already worked through many times, only to return to the beginning again! Therefore, if I was expecting a brand new solution, I would be disappointed. However, the number of books that she referred to made me realise that I am not the only one and singleness is not the only issue! There are quite a lot of us out there! I would highly recommend the book. It ...
