Stripped: Trusting God When He Allows Others to Hurt You (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798329098594)

Brokenness, pain, heartache...unavoidable derivations of the human condition that are heightened when they are not the consequence of our choices, rather the byproduct of other people's actions-sometimes of the very people closest to us.

"So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe-the ornate robe he was wearing- and they took him and threw him into the cistern. The cistern was empty; there was no water in it." Genesis 37:23-24

Using Joseph's dramatic story as the framework, Stripped addresses the struggle to reconcile God's love with inflicted pain. If He loves us, why does He allow others to hurt us? How do you recover from the aftermath?

Drawing from Joseph and her own challenging journey through brokenness, Riddering shares, amongst other lessons, how to:

• Find hope and intimacy with God despite the pain of being stripped
• Trust in His plans and power to redeem our stories
• Be successful in the land of our suffering
• Forget, fructify, and forgive

This book inspires hope and courage to anyone who's ever been stripped to trust that God still redeems what the enemy meant for evil and that His children's stories never end in stripping.
