If Not: Making Peace With God's Timing: Faith, Femininity, and the Power of Waiting Without Wavering (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246227947)

What do you do when the dream you prayed for hasn't happened yet?
And what if it never does?

In If Not: Making Peace With God's Timing, Jasmine S. Styles offers a raw, faith-rooted, and deeply personal reflection on waiting-without wavering, without bitterness, and without losing yourself along the way.

This is not a book about settling.
It is not a book about desperation.
And it is certainly not a book about waiting passively.

Through scripture, testimony, conviction, and clarity, Styles walks readers through the tension between desire and surrender-between wanting marriage, motherhood, and partnership, and learning to trust God fully when His timing does not match our own. With honesty and spiritual maturity, she challenges the cultural lie that wholeness comes from relationships, while also affirming that the desire for marriage is holy, biblical, and worth honoring.

This book explores:

• What it means to be single on purpose, not by force

• The difference between preferences, non-negotiables, and boundaries

• Why faith feels different when grief, disappointment, and unanswered prayers enter the picture

• How to walk in identity and authority without competing with men or compromising God's order

• Why marriage is spiritual, not survival-based

• How to make peace with "if not"-without giving up on "one day"

Written for those who love God deeply but have wrestled quietly with questions they were afraid to ask, If Not speaks to women and men navigating singleness, dating, faith, leadership, and waiting in a world that rushes everything.

This book is for the reader who is:

• Fighting for their life spiritually while trying to do things God's way

• Tired of being told they're "too much" or "too independent"

• Unwilling to settle, but determined not to grow bitter

• Learning how to trust God fully-even when the promise feels delayed

If Not is an invitation to mature faith, grounded femininity, and unwavering trust in God's sovereignty-no matter the outcome.

Because whether it happens or not,
God is still good!
And you are still whole.
