And when that answer comes back 'no, ' it can be devastating. Elizabeth has not only captured the feelings that follow hearing 'no, ' but she's also led us on a trail of hope to help us untangle our disappointment and, through it, learn to love and trust God even more." <br> -Davey Blackburn, Founder of Nothing is Wasted Ministries, Host of <i>The Nothing is Wasted Podcast</i> <br> ​ <br> "Elizabeth's writing is a close friend offering you a warm hug and a word you didn't know you needed. We've all had our prayers met with this hard word--<i>no</i>. What Elizabeth does so beautifully is take well-worn pages of scripture and points out times when the answer was "no" and what we can learn from those moments. I found my eyes opened to many areas that I have now offered up to God in surrender of my own "nos" through reading her personal stories. She guides the reader back to the heart of God and reminds us of His trustworthy, immutable character that we can always stand on no matter what we are facing." <br> -Rebecca Dotson George, speaker, writer, and host of the Do The Thing Movement podcast <p/> "I am so thankful that Elizabeth is the friend we need to help us understand that God says 'no, ' and that it is okay, and we in turn will be okay. In <i>When God Says, 'No'</i> she helps us grasp that we don't need to fully understand the why but we can navigate the loss, disappointment, and the journey together. We don't have to try to figure it out alone. With this new book, we can walk in an understanding of His unending love and care for us. Elizabeth brings us into Bible stories that help us feel understood, and she loves us through our own circumstances, like the best of friends." <br> -Jeanette Tapley, host of <i>It's Time For Coffee</i> Podcast <p/> "If we follow God for long enough, eventually He will close a door we try to open or answer one of our prayers with a clear 'no.' It's never easy to navigate these seasons. <i>When God Says 'No'</i> does not oversimplify the life of obedience, but offers wisdom and hope to anyone struggling under the weight of a divine redirection or refusal. Elizabeth's stories remind us that we are not alone, and that even God's 'no' can lead us deeper into His love." <br> -Carrie Stephens, author of <i>Holy Guacamole</i> <p/> "She did it again! Elizabeth Thompson is such a witty and brilliant writer, she makes me want to throw a party! And this book, oh goodness, so timely and precious. I hear from readers all the time who are hurt and broken by a 'no.' He is a good Father. He just is. And good fathers are often misunderstood as harsh or cruel, when all they were doing was trying to protect. Elizabeth offers a precious perspective that will bring the brokenhearted to a place of safety in the arms of a God named Love." <br> -Jami Amerine, author of <i>Well, Girl: An Inside Out Journey to Wellness</i> <br><br>
