We all fear that the depression will never lift, the disappointment will never stop, the pain will never leave. Here in the pits, surrounded by steep walls, we wonder if our gray skies will ever brighten. Though these unprecedented and challenging times may bring a load of uncertainty and fear that feels too heavy to bear, God gives us this promise: You’ll Get Through This.
In You’ll Get Through This, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado traces the story of Joseph as told in the book of Genesis. The Bible tells us that Joseph was tossed into a pit by his brothers, sold into slavery, wrongfully imprisoned, forgotten and dismissed. Yet Joseph’s story is proof that we can flourish even in this broken world. On his darkest days, Joseph may have thought that the sun would never shine again, but God ultimately used these hardships for a greater purpose.
Whether you find yourself in the pit of financial downturn, job loss, health crisis, or relationship stresses, God has a plan and a path forward designed just for you. Max reminds readers God doesn’t promise that getting through trials will be quick or painless, but he does use our mess for good.
In this book, Max will help you:
Find comfort in the knowledge that you are God’s child and God cares deeply for youRemember that God is near you and has never left youLook for hope in each hardship that you faceLean on your loving community in challenging timesTake courage that God will restore even the most painful circumstances and use them for good
Each copy of You’ll Get Through This includes thoughtful questions for reflection designed to give you a chance to dive deeper into the hard yet hopeful story of Joseph’s perseverance.
With the compassion of a pastor, the heart of a storyteller, and the joy of one who has seen what God can do, Max explores the story of Joseph and the truth of Genesis 50:20: what Satan intends for evil, God redeems for good.

Miracles do Happen Today !!
What I want to say first of all; God Sent this book when I needed it the most !! I was suffering with three deep hearted feelings at the same time: The death of my father was hard but when my family wasn’t honoring him, like we all did when my Mother passed on. My heart was torned into pieces, my two girls that was with me suffered also, by the hands of my family, which torn at my heart as their mother.I had been diagnosed with melanoma cancer for the second time and needed surgery.Pain from my past that I was having to relive due to helping innocent people having a voice, this is pertaining to when I had been sexually abused, multiply times by (at that time) a brother-in-law.When I returned home from the funeral, it hit me like a BRICK. I tried reading a wonderful christian book that I had read when my mother passed, it helped then but I couldn’t wrap my mind into it. So, I turned to my prayer warrior and she pulled her pray chain in and then I had her prayers and others. The very next day my oldest daughter was called into work, she was suppose to have that day off. She works as a Home Care Aid for a couple. When she went to their house, the husband told her he had a book for her to read and said “Your mother should read it too”. She bought me the book :You’ll get through this” and I started reading it that night without ANY trouble of getting my mind wrapped into the book. Now, I have goosebumps again, that Wonderful Book Touched my Heart, Touched my Soul. GOD does do miracles TODAY, I am proof that he does. THANK YOU GOD, FOR YOUR LOVE AND GRACE !! I bought five of these books and sent it to my prayer warrior for her to hand out, when she feels someone needs to hear this message. She called me just the other day and told me she took the book to church with her and was going to give it to a woman, but that woman was not there. When she got up to leave, she told me, she felt like God was wanting the lady behind her to have the book, so she did give the book to the lady. The conversation she had with the lady bought tears to the lady’s eyes. Max you have a gift from God and you are using it to touch So Many People. I will keep you in my prayers. THANK YOU, Gina from Minnesota

Always a good read
I have been reading Max Lucado books for years. They are always a good read and when I finish one, I always wish there was more to read. This book is no different. Max uses the story of Joseph to illustrate his points he wants to make. This is a comforting book, but he also makes it clear that there is no magic wand and nothing will be easy. Life is not easy. However, God will help you through. I think the main take away is faith in God, hope in God, and that eventually you will see good come from hard times and evil. Difficult sometimes to see, but holding on till things come clear and one finally sees the good that God makes out of hard times is worth the effort. This is an easy read and worth the time to spend meditating on God’s word and Max’s stories.

Inspiring and Relatable
This is a great read if life has hit you hard. Max Lucado does a great job using Joseph as a model of perseverance and faith through difficult times. I found something in each chapter that encouraged and related to my own situation. It was Joseph’s response in the midst of extreme difficulty that stood out to me the most. Max Lucado points out that he did not speak bitter words, or express hatred toward those who wronged him, but rather, he made the best out of every situation. He always chose to honor God and avoided self-pity. Max Lucado has always been a favorite Christian author. He is accessible and does a great job bringing biblical accounts to life and relating them to our modern times.

Great Book to Read When You’re in a Dark Place
I highly recommend this book if you are in a dark place and needing some encouragement in your walk with God. I loved how this book analyzed the story of Joseph. It’s such a familiar story, to most of us I think, yet the author’s analyses of it really helped me see it in a new and helpful light. One of the most helpful things the author reiterates in this book is Joseph’s response to his brothers’ fear towards him, after realizing he’s the brother they thought they’d killed. He says, “You meant evil against me, but God used it for good” (Gen. 50.20). The author’s analyses of this response and the rest of Joseph’s story, helps the readers see that no matter what hardships may befall them in this life, that God will always have the final word. God takes the things that were meant to harm us and uses them for good.

“You’ll get through this. It won’t be painless. It won’t be quick. But God will use this mess for good. In the meantime don’t be foolish or naive. But don’t despair either. With God’s help you will get through this.”This is the theme of the book. It studies the life of Joseph and then reflects back to our current lives. There are questions for study in the back of the book. Very good and had good discussion with others.I did this with my husband along with the study guide. The separate SG is good and has lots of added work for a group of people to use. Questions in the back of the book would have been enough for us.
