About this audiobook
No is not a four-letter word, but it certainly feels like one.
It's one thing to feel God's love when life goes your way, but what happens to your faith when life doesn't go as you had planned?
When prayers go unanswered and dreams unfulfilled?
When the sick stay sick and the dead do not rise?
When you're lost in the desert and the Promised Land seems like an empty promise?
When God says, "No," how do you grapple with disappointment?
Author Elizabeth Laing Thompson walks alongside listeners as she tackles the difficulties that stymie our faith, stifle our prayers, and stunt our relationship with God. When God Says No will help you to discover hope when life feels hopeless, good in what feels bad, and new dreams when old ones have died. This book is a fantastic reminder of Who is in charge—Who He is and how He works. How He loves us and why He limits us. The better we know Him, the more we understand that He says "No" to a few things, so He might say "Yes" to many more.

I really enjoyed reading this book because it does not only bring the Bible stories alive, it also shares how to relate those specific stories to real life events. Each chapter is really there to let me see that No’s are not to restrict me but to protect me. A lot of her lines in this book can be made famous lines to encourage me to have hope amidst difficulties. I really love using those lines to post in my social media on a daily basis. One of the best things I learned in this book is not to think that I know God’s reasons behind His no. I need to trust God’s ways and feel his present blessings to appreciate what is to come. She shared a lot of beautiful stories of people in which one can really get emotional. There has been a lot of reminders for me in this book to keep hoping, keep being at peace even when God says No.
