Don’t Worry, God Has Big Plans for You
New book offers renewed strength for those stumbling in their walk with God
SAN DIEGO: Faith is a journey, they say. But sometimes you feel like you just want to get off the bus! The road is tiring, the destination so far away. God’s consolation seems elusive. Our own flaws, wounds, bad habits, and toxic relationships remind us how far we are from becoming the person that God wants us to be.
A new book from Catholic Answers Press offers hope in the midst of this universal struggle. Because God keeps his promises—and he’s always working in us, even when we think he’s not.
In Not Finished Yet: How God Keeps His Promise to Complete His Work in Us, theologian and radio personality Marcus Peter (Ave Maria in the Afternoon) offers a refreshing spiritual boost for anyone caught in spiritual doldrums: reminding us that the same divine love and power that created and redeemed the whole universe are active in our hearts every day.
By that love and power, mediated through Church’s sacraments and other instruments of holiness, God is making us into a new creation. Sure, we still have hurts, sins, addictions, and attachments that slow us down. But Dr. Peter shows how, by diligent cooperation with grace, we can make real progress in our journey. It’s true that we’re raw, incomplete, unfinished—but God is leading us on a road to perfection!
“It’s rare for a book to combine rich and faithful theology with a practical program for daily spiritual advancement,” says Todd Aglialoro, director of publishing for Catholic Answers. “But Marcus Peter has done it, laying out the beautiful and hopeful continuity between our ongoing personal conversion and God’s great project of salvation history.”
