Publisher's Description
Move forward with hope instead of dwelling on the past so you can enjoy God's promises and purpose for your life. There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, especially when an unexpected change happens and all we want is for things to go back to how they were. But we can't stop the flow of life, and we can't stop time. And looking back doesn't enable us to go back. It just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit. In Luke 17:32, Jesus drops three little words: "Remember Lot's wife." We don't know her name, history, or story. All we know is that when she was fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, she was told not to look back, and she did the one thing she was asked not to do. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. And out of the 170 women referred to in the Scriptures, she's the only one Jesus told us to remember. With a rallying cry to "Remember Lot's wife," Bible teacher, international speaker, activist, and bestselling author Christine Caine will motivate you to stop looking back, to get unstuck, and to keep moving forward into God's promises and purpose for your life. In Don't Look Back, Christine will help you to: Stop looking back and start looking to Jesus Invite Jesus in to help you get unstuck from the places and situations that keep you trapped Move on from where you are into all God's plans, purposes, and promises for your life Look forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith--especially when your world is nothing like it once was Jesus is beckoning us onward into the newness of what lies ahead. Stop disqualifying yourself by getting stuck in the past. Don't Look Back will inspire you to move forward boldly.

“Praise for Don’t Look Back “In recent years on my hardest days, all I wanted to do was to crawl back into bed and not have to face the new realities that were in front of me. My life looked very different than I thought it would, and I desperately needed some time to adjust to all the changes. In Don’t Look Back, Christine guides those of us who may be feeling stuck in pain and in the past yet are wanting to thrive while moving forward into a hopeful future. This is a book to sit with yourself, and to share with your loved ones who also need this timely encouragement!”

“Don’t Look Back is bursting with the one thing everyone is in desperate need of these days: hope. Hope for the future because of the abiding hope found only in Jesus. There is no greater voice to speak to this than Christine’s. She is a prophet to our generation and I’m certain this book will change your life!”
“Several research studies have concluded that we spend as much as 30 percent of our mental capacity thinking about the past. Even more troubling, when we think about the past, the majority of our thoughts gravitate to our regrets. In Don’t Look Back, Christine Caine delivers delivers a powerful toolbox to help shift our thoughts in the direction God has always called us to focus: heavenward. This book is the counselor we all need on speed dial.”

“When you meet Chris—and you will meet her in this book—you will discover a woman that could have stayed stuck by looking back at her pain, disadvantages, and trauma. But instead of looking back, she’s looking to Jesus. Jesus will never leave you stuck. Get this book. Devour it. Share it. Live it.”
Dr. Derwin L. Gray
“At some point in life, you may find yourself stuck, and you’ll be tempted to stay where you are or to return to what was. With her signature prophetic voice, Christine Caine calls us to move forward in obedience to Jesus. There is no way to grow without stepping out in faith. Her message is personal to me: Chris was a significant voice in my own life during a key season of discerning a call to step out with faith and courage. As she unpacks the Scripture and shares stories from her life and from others around the world, I know you will find the strength, healing, and hope to live with greater purpose and freedom.”
