The Blessed "NO"

William P. Barker's book, When God Says NO is an interesting look into the characters of the Bible who experienced pain or found that their requests of God were declined. As Christians in a modern world it is hard to completely submit our will to the Lord and trust Him with our lives; rather, we pray that God will guide us in the direction that we want to go. Unfortunately, God often has different plans for us, which this book beautifully illustrates through familiar Bible persons. Barker creates vivid pictures of characters and truly makes them come to life. This provides for an entertaining read but it could be argued that he takes some liberties that distort the actual happenings that the Bible reports. Nevertheless, the book gives a refreshing outlook and I would recommend it for all those who need reassurance that God knows what he's doing even if things aren't going according to our own personal plans.
