Her life strategy was simple: do everything right. This included trying to be the perfect mother to her three kids so they would never experience the kind of pain she pretended not to feel growing up. What she didn't expect was the chaos of an out-of-control life that begins when her young son's hand begins to shake and he is diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis moving memoir is the story of Janine's reluctant journey beyond easy answers and platitudes. She searches for a source of strength bigger than her circumstances, only to have her circumstances become even thornier when she is diagnosed with breast cancer. Drawn deeply and against her will into herself, she discovers hidden reserves of strength, humor, and a no-matter-what faith that looks nothing like she thought it would. \u003cem\u003eThe Opposite of Certainty \u003c\/em\u003eis\u003cem\u003e: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrilliant, breathtakingly honest, and sometimes very funny account of marriage, motherhood, and the unfathomable salvation we find in God \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn unvarnished look at defying the gravity of challenging life circumstances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe recognition that anyone can tap a source of strength inside themselves to walk through the impossible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeautifully written and deeply hopeful, Janine shows us how we can come through impossible times transformed and yet more ourselves than we've ever allowed ourselves to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janine Urbaniak Reid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0785230599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780785230595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Nelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2020 pg. 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/26\/2020 pg. 1","brand":"Janine Urbaniak Reid","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981206487295,"sku":"9780785230595","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_124e66c7-9b76-4782-aa00-47127d800ebc.jpg?v=1683254240","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-opposite-of-certainty-janine-urbaniak-reid-9780785230595","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
