Product Description

Life never turns out as we expected. But connecting honestly with the one we're really in can bring all sorts of consolation...

I Thought There Would Be Cake explores - with the author's characteristic empathy and humour - some of the everyday issues we face, in order to help us think about how we might live life a little better. With each chapter drawing on personal experience and featuring an original illustration, the topics include:

  • taking responsibility (the need to accept failure)
  • your crap/my crap (the boundaries between caring and taking on others' worries and stresses)
  • what sort of special? (what it means to be unique in a sea of unique people)
  • comparisons (the destructiveness of comparing ourselves to other people)
  • affirmation (the healthy and unhealthy need)
  • inner conflict (believing we can do anything/nothing at all)
  • numbers (the power of social media)
  • never chosen (finding our value in who we are in each situation, not in the people around us)
  • major crisis in a minor moment (keeping things in proportion)
  • regret (spending less time evaluating ourselves and more time just being ourselves)

    Candid but powerfully reassuring, the book reminds us that we are each made - fearfully and wonderfully - in the image of God, our true source of confidence, comfort and joy.
