Life in the Hand of an Extraordinary God: Seeing God in the Everyday

by Susan Nystrom, Loren Nystrom (Illustrations)

Life is messy. God knows and He cares. He is alive and active in the everyday moments of our lives. Between the covers of this book you will find true-life adventures of an ordinary life touched and transformed by the love of an extraordinary God. Real life happens, but He is willing and able to meet us where we are so He can give us what we need - His grace. Travel through rolling hills, city bars and ballet classes to meet children, prostitutes and tax collectors who have been forever changed in the presence of a merciful God. You will encounter a loving Father who is not distant or unapproachable, but is longing to walk you through this journey called life. Come meet the Jesus who loves you.

[Danielle Nystrom · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is an absolute joy from beginning to end!
Sue’s pure delight in life and her deep love for Jesus shine through on every page. Each chapter stands beautifully on its own, making it easy to return later for a dose of encouragement or a reminder of God’s goodness.

What moved me most was the way Sue loves — her family, her friends, and every person God places in her path. She lives out her faith with humility, kindness, and a contagious sense of humor. Her stories reflect a heart that sees people the way God sees them, and that alone makes this book worth reading.

I also loved the glimpses into her life with Loren. Their shared joy, playful spirit, and willingness to jump into each other’s adventures add warmth and laughter throughout the book.

Reading this felt like spending time with a family whose everyday life is a testimony of God’s love. I’m truly blessed to know them, and this book is a beautiful reminder to embrace each day, find joy in every circumstance, and walk closely with God through it all.
