What if God has more in store for your life than you've given him credit for?

The pressure of unmet milestones and unfulfilled dreams can make you feel like you've already missed out on the life you were "supposed" to have. But you don't have to exhaust yourself by trying to keep up to enjoy what's right in front of you.

In You Are Not Behind, Meghan Ryan Asbury will help you create a life you love with the one you already have. Drawing on biblical wisdom and relatable stories, Meghan will guide you to:

  • release the internal shame and external pressure of where you should be while still being honest with God (and yourself)
  • free yourself from comparing and secretly keeping score with the people around you so you can have the community you long for
  • understand what contentment actually means so you can hold onto hope for the future without letting it overshadow today's happiness

    Authentic and encouraging, You Are Not Behind will teach you to grieve the hard, celebrate the good, and embrace the in-between of where you are and where you want to be.

        In this unfocused debut guide, Asbury assures those who feel unfulfilled that “God is writing a better story for your life—a story that is unfolding right in front of you.” After moving to Charlotte, N.C., in 2019, the author thought she’d found what she was looking for—a good job, a tight-knit community—but remained dissatisfied, leading her to wonder “where God was, what he was doing, and whether anything would ever change.” Describing how she sought to appreciate what she has while also working to build a better future, she recalls how she got honest with God about what was making her feel behind in life; let go of the hope that, before she turned 30, she would start dating the man she’d eventually marry; and attempted to strike a balance between pursuing her goals and seeking contentment with the life in front of her. Asbury makes clear that her quest is ongoing, which lends the proceedings a somewhat contradictory and scattershot feel (“I want to be married. I want my own house... and if I’m honest, today I want all of it more than I want God... But deep down, I also know I want more than that”). Despite some bright spots, this fails to deliver.
