Making Peace with Change

“Gina challenges us to choose through transition to walk into some of the deepest, hardest places of our heart with courage and tenacity. With authenticity and grace, she reminds us that as we face our fears, losses, and grief, and lay them at the feet of Jesus, we find ourselves deeply anchored in Him.” – Meg Robbins and David Robbins, president of FamilyLife * From the Publisher *
“I didn’t know how much I needed the gentle insight and wisdom in Making Peace with Change. I suppose it’s because I never really realized how deeply unsettling transition can be. If anything, I thought my unease was mostly about my own particular inability to cope with loneliness and feelings of intense vulnerability and isolation. No wonder I felt so utterly upended and unmoored. As I read Making Peace with Change, not only did I learn more about myself and God’s role in the midst of a transition, but I found the book to be encouraging, helpful, hopeful, and healing. I trust you will too. Transition happens to all of us. And in this book Gina functions as a skilled guide for us whether we’re about to approach a transition, in the midst of it, or reflecting back upon it.” – Marlena Graves, author of A Beautiful Disaster and The Way Up is Down
