From Worry to Wonder by Amy Hagerup is a collection of personal stories about faith, resilience, and divine intervention. Structured into six sections, it covers themes like God’s provision, protection, spiritual formation, and purpose through life’s trials. Each chapter presents a real-life challenge and how faith played a role in overcoming it. Whether it’s financial struggles, childhood hardships, or unexpected turns in travel, the book focuses on transforming worry into wonder through trust in God.

What stands out is the honesty in Hagerup’s storytelling. She doesn’t sugarcoat struggles, which makes her experiences feel real and relatable. In Down to My Last Two Dollars, she describes the tough decision to give despite lacking money for food. Her raw reflections show both fear and faith, making this a moment of emotional tension that resonates deeply. This kind of vulnerability runs through the book, making it feel like a conversation with a trusted friend.

Another powerful chapter, Doctor’s Prediction I’d Go Insane, dives into a particularly gripping moment from her past. The way she lays out her fears and the disbelief she encountered from professionals adds an element of suspense. It’s not just about proving others wrong, it’s about leaning into faith when the world says otherwise. I found myself holding my breath as she revealed how the situation unfolded.

Some stories, like Lesson Learned from a Mule, have a touch of humor while still delivering deep wisdom. It’s a great balance, the book never feels too heavy, even when dealing with difficult topics. The writing style is simple and heartfelt, without sounding preachy.

From Worry to Wonder is a great read for those who need encouragement in their faith journey. It’s especially suited for readers who enjoy personal testimonies and practical reflections on trusting God. If you’ve ever faced uncertainty and wondered how faith plays into it, this book might be the reminder you need that wonder can follow even the hardest worries. ​
