    About this audiobook

    Life Interruptions = Divine Interventions

    Interruptions. They're aggravating. Sometimes infuriating. They make us want to tell people what we think of them. But how we handle interruptions actually tells us more about ourselves.

    The prophet Jonah's existence was interrupted by a call of God that would require a complete change of life. And it scared him enough to make him run in the opposite direction. Yet, what seemed to be an unnecessary and useless interruption was really an opportunity for Jonah to be involved in something the likes of which the Old Testament world had never seen before. This interruption was really a divine intervention and it held more adventure and possibility than he could have ever imagined.

    We, like Jonah, tend to run from interruptions. When major pains and minor problems cause a hiccup in our carefully calculated plans and goals we head in the opposite direction. Who knows what we might be missing by running from what could very well be God's means of steering us toward the most magnificent outcome of our lives. Jonah could tell us a story or two. So could you. And so does popular conference speaker and author Priscilla Shirer in this personal account of opportunities lost and lessons learned-the amazing freedom and fulfillment that comes from going with God even when He's going against your grain.

      Absolutely loved it! Worth the read for sure. This was written a while back, but I read it during Covid-19 with other women in my church and this was very inspiring. God is in control, surrender <3

      This is the first book I've read of Priscilla's. It was a perfect read for me right now. I've always looked at my life's interruptions as a punishment or as chastisement. I've never even considered that some of them may have been initiated by my disobedience or unwillingness to submit to the instructions God had given me.

      Life Interrupted uses the book of Jonah as the foundation to bring clarity to why life may be going in the opposite direction of what God has promised. If you feel like your in the belly of the fish with no way out this is a good tool to give you a better understanding of God's grace and the necessity to just get on board with His plan for your life.
