"Shattered dreams", writes Dr. Crabb, "are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story...Shattered dreams are not accidents of fate. They are ordained opportunities for the Spirit first to awaken, then to satisfy, our highest dream". In Shattered Dreams, Larry Crabb offers a wise, hopeful, and realistic examination of life's difficulties and tragedies. He wraps his insights around the bold story of Naomi in the Bible's book of Ruth. As Crabb retells and illuminates this sometimes disturbing and often profoundly touching story, readers will discover how God stripped Naomi of happiness in order to prepare her for joy. And they'll gain an unforgettable picture of how God uses shattered dreams to unlock better dreams and a more fulfilling life for those he loves. Shattered dreams, Larry Crabb shows us, have the power to change our lives for good -- forever. "God is always working to make his children aware of a dream that remains alive beneath the rubble of every shattered dream, a new dream that when realized will release a new song, sung with tears, till God wipes them away and we sing with nothing but joy in our hearts".
