What do you do when your life isn't turning out the way you thought?
What do you do when you have to turn to Plan B?
Pete Wilson reaches beyond the typical Christian response to offer frank understanding, honest encouragement, and real hope for your Plan B reality. Drawing on real-life stories from the Bible (David, Joseph, Mary, and Martha) and the present day, he writes to help you:
Move past the feelings of crisis: panic, fear, paralysis, and overcontrol
See God in your circumstanceseven when he doesn't seem to be there at all
Make peace with doubt, which can actually be an expression of faith
Find hope through the redemptive power of community
Ask the right questions in order to fi nd real, satisfying answers
Explore the relationship between shattered dreams and true spiritual transformation
Praise for Plan B
"What do you do when you wake up with shattered dreams and unmet expectations? Pete Wilson's book, Plan B, offers honest encouragement and spiritual insights when life doesn't go as planned."
Craig Groeschel, senior pastor, LifeChurch.tv, and author of The Christian Atheist
"If your life is going according to plan, if your pain level is low and your ease meter is high, you probably don't need this book. But for the rest of us, I am glad it's around."
John Ortberg, pastor and author, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
"Pete Wilson is a fresh voice for all today who wonder if they've missed God's best life and are relegated to gathering dust. He provides honest hope, a sound biblical base, and real answers. What also touched me as a reader was his warmth and authenticity. A great read for us all."
Dr. John Townsend, author of Boundaries, psychologist, and business coach
"No matter what you're going through, Plan B will help you get through it. Plan B is a down-to-earth book written by a down-to-earth pastor. Authentic hope is only a book away!"
Mark Batterson, senior pastor, National Community Church, and author of Primal
"Pete Wilson is a young, dynamic leader with a growing church and a heart to see people reach out and find Christ in the midst of any and every circumstance. His sincerity and desire to disarm some of life's difficult twists and turns with godly perspective will help anyone struggling with life's realities and Plan B."

Pete deals openly and honestly with the disappointments we experience, pointing us to a hope that endures, sustains, and overcomes.
We all know people who have walked away from God because of Plan B experiences, not realizing that these are the moments God uses the most. Pete shows us that we don't have to deny the reality of what we face. We simply need to embrace the reality of a God who loves us and who is greater than our greatest disappointments. After all, His Plan B for our lives is the best plan of them all."
Jeff Henderson, pastor, Buckhead Church
"Pete Wilson is a tremendous communicator whose warmth and care for people are evident on every page of this fantastic book. Plan B is a powerful resource for the detours of our lives. I wish this book would have been available years ago when some of my Plan As crashed, but I'm so thankful for the wisdom of its pages for my Plan Bs today."
Jud Wilhite, senior pastor, Central Christian Church, and author of Eyes Wide Open
