How can we be ready and respond well when life takes an unexpected turn? In this reflective journey, explore three steps that can make a world of difference as we face life's interruptions - knowing truth, continuing to learn, and having appropriate self-care. Each section contains a clear unpacking of the concept, the biblical rationale, personal stories, and a reflective guide. This resource is best used in community, sharing insights and praying for each other.

None of us knows what is ahead, or how we will respond when things go wrong, but we can prepare. By thoughtfully considering our own situation and putting some things in place, we can be equipped by God to be as ready as we can be for life's interruptions.

"Whose life hasn’t been interrupted in the 2020s? Yet we are still thrown off-balance by the unexpected. From her personal wisdom, meditation on Scripture, and knowledge of the human person, Susan Chapman shows us how we can face uncertainty not with stoical resignation, but with faith, hope, and love. This short book is packed with insights from experience, theology, psychology, and more. Chapman reminds us that our limitations are something we must learn to accept as part of being human — but this is not a counsel of despair." Michael Jensen – Rector, St Mark’s Anglican Church, Darling Point
