Drinking the Cup You Are Served Series
When the Cup is Bitter,
God is Still Faithful
Finding healing, faith, and freedom in life’s hardest circumstances.
What do you do when life hands you circumstances you never chose?
Author and licensed counselor Connie Hagen offers biblical truth,
compassionate wisdom, and practical steps for moving forward with
hope—even when your circumstances do not change.
The Book
Drinking the Cup You Are Served
A Journey From Circumstance to Calling
Available in paperback, Kindle, and audiobook.
Bad things happen in this world, and no one is immune.
The cup of life you are served can be suddenly spilled or
shattered. Someone you love can die or suffer a life-altering
accident. You may find yourself facing a divorce you never
wanted, the loss of a job or home, a health crisis, or another
circumstance that changes life in an instant.
In Drinking the Cup You Are Served, Connie Hagen
shares her own true story of how life crashed around
her—suddenly, unexpectedly, and painfully. Even as a licensed
counselor, Connie faced circumstances over which she seemingly
had no control.
As she moved through weeks, months, and years of struggle,
she discovered practical, Christ-centered steps that helped
her live fully and freely again. Through Scripture, personal
experience, and compassionate insight, Connie helps readers
acknowledge their pain, find nourishment in God’s Word, and
rediscover peace, hope, and joy.
Whatever cup life has served you, this book offers encouragement
that you can face it, walk through it, and move forward with
the God who restores the soul.
