For the first time, best-selling author and popular speaker Carol Kent is ready to share her story with the world. It will change the way you think about personal challenges. User Submitted When I Lay My Isaac Down: Unshakable Faith in Unthinkable Circumstances ReviewsOctober 31, 2008 Very thought provoking Carol Kent and her husband have gone through an extraordinary experience. None of us know when we might also be faced with such an ordeal. It will make you think. It will make you mad. It will make you wonder why. But, you will still believe in a faithful God at the end! September 8, 2008 Revealing story This is a good story of a family struggle. Could be any of us, but for the same reasons, personal growth. The growth of the individual players in this drama are compelled to come to grips with their foundational beliefs and to then use that growth in their daily lives. Well written, but was read poorly on the CD. It needs work to muster through, but it was good. September 5, 2008 Trust and obey I had expected more from this author. For me, the analogy got lost in the revelation of her personal struggle. I still highly recommend this book as it addresses such an important topic. We can let nothing deter our commitment to trust and follow, especially in our darkest hours. Our Isaacs come in many forms as do the rams in the brush, but God is constant. July 29, 2008 Heart Wrenching Carol's book is heart wrenching. We have only one child also, and we have had to "lay our Isaac down" and trust that God will take care of our son. Reading Carol's book made me realize that I am powerless over some circumstances, but God is still in control. I have a feeling though, that this book would not be understood by those who are not Christian. The idea of trusting a God who would allow so much pain is hard for people to understand. I'm a Christian, and believing in a God who allows horrible circumstances in our lives is hard for even me to understand. Carol's book helped explain how we can still have faith while experiencing difficult times. July 21, 2008 Grabs the heart. While Carol's experience is somewhat unique, her story and the application of the principles of faith to our own difficulties and disappointments in life, as well as others around us, is uplifting, encouraging and filled with hope. This book helps us to look outside of the dark and isolating closet we find ourselves in when an Issac experience enters our lives, or those around us, and see that we can carry on. June 23, 2008 The Great Faith Test This story is filled with the love of God and the expectations of God. WHen God doesn't answer the prayers the way you expect him to. thats when your faith shows up and becomes the strength you live by. Amazing Grace! June 5, 2008 Life-Changing When I Lay My Isaac Down: Unshakable Faith in Unthinkable Circumstances This book brought me back from a month of severe depression. And it renewed my faith in God. I have shared it with two friends who have absolutely felt as I did about the book. Carol Kent writes about an unspeakable family crisis and her decision to cling to her faith in spite of her grief. I recommend this book heartily to anyone facing a crisis and especially a crsis of faith. May 8, 2008 When I lay My Issac Down This is a powerful book examining tragic circumstances and the process one goes through in order to allow God to love and help us though our pain. I have recommended this book to many and all call or come back to say how it helped them in their struggles. April 26, 2008 The Best Book Ever Written for Families of Inmates This lady has walked in my shoes. AND she shared her story. That is a rare but most wonderful feeling to know I am not alone in the world. Thank you Carol Kent, and I am looking forward to your sequel April 7, 2008 When I lay my Issac Down I was very inspired by the faith of the author, and her husband, when life took them down a road they never expected God would ask them to travel, and through trials beyond those that most of us will be asked to bear. After reading the book (borrowed) I immediately ordered 4 copies, one for myself and copies for friends who were facing their own trials. This book reminds us that as Christians we are not immune to trials, but that a faith in God gives us a rock to cling to in the midst of the raging seas of life.
