Synopsis

“It just shouldn’t be this hard!”Raise your hand if you’ve ever had a day where everything that could go wrong does go wrong―you lock your keys in the car while it’s running, lose control with your kids, make a mistake at the office that results in hours more work. And just when you think not one more thing could possibly happen … well, fill in the blank.The struggle is real, friends. It may not be major stuff. Lives are not on the line here. But it makes us feel awful … and then we feel guilty for stressing when other people have “real” problems that are so much more serious.Yet the fact remains: we live in a world that often feels harder than we think it should be. And so it can be easy to believe the stories we tell ourselves―that we’re doing it wrong, that we’ll be stuck in this place forever, that God doesn’t love us. We struggle to practice gratitude, to make godly choices, and to live our daily lives with confidence and contentment. So what can we do?Join popular Bible teacher and counselor Nicole Unice to discover why the struggle is real … and what to do about it. Nicole offers practical tools to help you navigate the daily ups and downs, and ways to rewrite your struggle into a new, God-centered life story. The Struggle Is Real is an invitation to take the hard, hurtful, and confusing moments and turn them into opportunities to grow in wisdom, strength, and joy.

Goodreads review by Jessica

It's all in the title - the struggle IS real. I don't know about you, but I find myself having daily struggles, and each day is different. It could be home, work, praying, making the time to spend with the Lord, and keeping the enemy's nasty little voice away from me. Nicole Unice gets that. Nicole......more

Goodreads review by Susan

This is a sinful world, and thus none of us is getting out of here without some struggle. That’s the issue Nicole Unice addresses in her new book, The St......more
