Praise for Seasons of God
“Never! Now that’s a big statement. However, I have never heard a
better Bible teacher than Richard Blackaby. To say that I am
excited about this new book is the understatement of the new
millennium! Read with anticipation
about the seasons of your life and be inspired to make the most of
each.”
— Johnny Hunt, senior pastor of First
Baptist Church, Woodstock, GA
“Time is both one of the world’s greatest resources and one of the
most misused. Blackaby does a masterful job in showing how God has
given us seasons of life to make the most of the time we have.”
— Will Graham, executive director of the
Billy Graham Training Center
“God has uniquely gifted Richard with the ability to explain life
in a way that is fascinating, enjoyable, and always eye-opening.
This book will make you think. It will help you see God in
everything from your crises to the mundane. Ultimately it will
compel you to live your life with renewed fervency and joy.”
—Henry T. Blackaby, author of
Experiencing God
“This book is one of those rare finds. Not only does it bring fresh
insight to familiar scriptures, but it is also practical. This is a
concept that will immediately change the way you view your
circumstances and will help you redefine your outlook. The Seasons
of God is written out of a deep well of wisdom drawn from
experience, by an author willing to be authentic and transparent in
his communication.”

“I have worked with Richard Blackaby for a number of years and have
been impressed by his ability to use compelling stories and images
to communicate profound truths. In this new book he expertly
describes how our lives flow through seasons. I am impressed with
how Richard explains life in ways you may never have considered
before. But most importantly, he demonstrates how you can thrive in
every stage of your life. This is one of those books that can
change the way you think and live.”
— Dick Schultz, executive director
of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (ret.) and

“The ebb and flow of life has a rhythm, best lived in step with God
as our Creator and Sustainer. Reading this book will help you find
His pace for the current season of your life. God is constant, life
is constantly changing, and our perspective on both must
continually mature to fully experience His best.”
— Jeff Iorg, president of Golden
Gate Baptist Theological Seminary
“In The Seasons of God, you will find yourself understanding in new
ways why certain things work the way they do at certain times of
life. Read this book slowly and keep it handy, because Blackaby
gives a lot of theological, biblical, and practical understanding
of how God works in every season. You’ll want to refer to it the
next time the weather changes in your own life.”
— Mike Glenn, author of The Gospel
of Yes and senior pastor of Brentwood Baptist Church, Brentwood,
TN
“In this helpful work Richard Blackaby coaches us all to see the
seasons of our lives from God’s perspective and from that vantage
point to anticipate the new things He might have in store. Richard
draws inspiration and insight from his own personal pilgrimage
shaped by the context of God’s living Word to produce a thoughtful
blueprint for any stage of life. The Seasons of God will be a
helpful book for those courageous enough to honestly follow God
well in the next chapter of life.”
— Jeff Christopherson, vice
president of the North American Mission Board and author of Kingdom
Matrix
“Sometimes we are so busy living the grind of daily life that we
fail to step back and see things from a larger view. Knowing life
comes in seasons can help us face those occasional hurricanes that
seem to blast us off our path
and can help us enjoy the warmth of the good days. Read this book,
whatever season you find yourself in. Take time to reflect, to be
encouraged, and to press on.”
— Alvin L. Reid, professor of evangelism
and student ministry, Bailey Smith Chair of Evangelism,
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
“With humor, wit, and wisdom, Richard Blackaby poses a most
important question: Are you thriving or merely surviving in your
current season of life? This book is rife with laughter,
transparency, and spiritual insights. A refreshing, delightful read
that, if taken to heart, could show us how to be truly happy in
Jesus.”
— Connie Cavanaugh, speaker and
author of From Faking It to Finding Grace and Following God One Yes
at a Time

is sure to comfort, encourage, and enlighten. It will help you

prepare you for where you’re going. Don’t allow another season to
race by without experiencing all that God has in store for your
life.”
— Daniel Blackaby, author of When
Worlds Collide and Legend of the Book Keeper Seasons of
