More from Chuck
Sometimes life hits you unexpected, and when it doesn’t let up, you might feel a bit bewildered. That was me, when time after time I kept getting up, only to get knocked right back down again. I couldn’t understand why bad things kept happening to me, a good person, a good man. I was doing things the right way, so I thought. I married a God-fearing woman. I was using my life for God’s purpose. I had devoted my life to teaching the next generation as a youth pastor. Everything should have been smooth and easy, right? Amid a dark storm, nothing seemed easy. Why hardship hit so relentlessly was a mystery to me. Things didn’t seem fair. And when nothing made sense, I was reeling, searching, and found myself on the backside of the wilderness screaming to a God who only seemed to have a deaf ear turned my way. Sound familiar? In this book, I take you on a great journey to find answers when most answers seemed bleak, if not non-existent. Take God’s hand with me, he’s there, I promise. I’ll show you how his voice is so clear and distinct, even when we have trouble seeing which way is up. All That the Locusts Have Eaten is a testament to how God can bring us through, and that, in unexpected ways.
My Thoughts
All That the Locusts Have Eaten: God’s Redemption Through Loss and Heartache is written by Chuck Carr. This was a good read especially if you're going through some tough trials. I loved how the author shared how he grew up with a stable household. He grew up with a great relationship with God, met the love of his life while in college and they got married. They had two boys. Then tragedy. Becca endured some painful, heartbreaking treatments. But their faith in God did not waver.
I honestly don't know if I would be as strong as Chuck and Becca were. They knew their Savior and trusted HIS plan for their life. Even when it was not what we think it should be. I admire the strength, the courage and the faithfulness of this family.
The book is well written with personal experiences and Bible verses to weave it all together. The author has really wrote an inspirational book for those who may be going through something similar.
Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.
