When was the last time that you had to deviate from your intial plan and go to "plan B"? I've had my fair share, and, in reality, I would say I go from "plan A" to "plan B" on a daily basis. However, in life we all experience times when we are thinking life is going one way, but something happens and we have to rethink our plans. Your job, marriage, pregnancy, etc. is going one way, but then something causes you to think about a "plan B" approach.
Pete Wilson titles this book "Plan B" but what drew me to read the book was the subtitle, "What do you do when God doesn't show up the way you thought He would?" So many people, including myself, have a tendency to think that God is doing something in your life when in fact, possibly around the corner and when you didn't expect it, God is planning on doing something else with your life. The catch is, you didn't see it coming. Since you didn't see it coming, you have to pull out the "plan B" in your quiver and be able to deal with it. The question is, how are you going to deal with it?
Much of the time we go through a blame-game phase or a why-asking phase before we can get to the point of growing. Or, in the simplest times, when we aren't getting what we want from God we wonder where is He in our life?
In Wilson's book, he provides scriptural and real-life examples of how people have used their "plan B" times for good. The end result may not have changed, but there was a learning period which you allowed yourself to learn from Him. I recommend this book to people to read who've been through "plan B" times and for those who may not have - you probably will go through it sometime!
