Publisher's Description
God has a good plan for you--a plan to give you a hope and a future. Are you ready to believe it? Meant for Good is a power-packed, biblical look at the truth that you really can trust God's plan for your life--no matter what your life looks like right now. Dynamic Bible teacher Megan Fate Marshman will help you discover how to stop discounting yourself from a hopeful future, start living in active dependence on God, and find your way to the good plan He has for you. With authenticity and revelatory insights into the character of God, Megan shares an engaging and fresh look at the core themes within the well-loved scripture of Jeremiah 29:11-14. Through winsome and inspiring stories, Meant for Good will show you how to trust God in your daily life and, more importantly, how to trust God's definition of good above your own. You will discover: That your not-enoughness is exactly enough for God, and that in fact, you have everything you need to take that first step into the life God has for you. How to stop counting yourself out, because Jesus never has. God is up to something really good, and He's inviting you to join Him. How to hear and respond to God's voice, and intentionally grow a personal, intimate relationship with Him. How to defeat anxiety, trust God with all you're carrying and worrying about, and experience a life of freedom in relying on God daily.

Megan detangles our confusion and reminds us of the simple truth that God has a plan for our lives—and it’s GOOD. This book isn’t something Megan thought about; this book is something she lived.”
“In the season before we knew of global pandemic, through Megan’s pen, God was writing words that would become part of the antidote. This book is a balm of hope reminding us that we can trust a faithful God who made each of us with robust kingdom purpose to fulfill in the here and now!”
“For a decade now Megan has been on the top of everyone’s favorite speaker list, and now that same passion and humor leaps off every page of her first book. If you have ever struggled with finding God’s purpose and plan for your life, Megan will launch you down that path while drawing you closer to a biblical Jesus that we desperately need more of in our culture today.”
“With winsome candor, signature humor, and a profound depth of insight, Megan challenges our self-centeredness and invites us to drink deeply of God Himself. I’ll tell you one thing—I will never read Jeremiah 29:11–14 the same way again! Read Meant for Good and be refreshed.”
“I’m grateful for Megan Marshman’s ability to not just teach information but, ultimately, to speak directly to my heart and soul . . . especially to my doubts, fears, and anxieties. What a reminder that I’m never in isolation but that God indeed has plans for each of our lives and we can place our trust in this loving God.”
Rev. Eugene Cho
“Through her vivid storytelling and beautifully deep command of Scripture, my sister Megan Fate Marshman delivers a practical and fresh approach to one of the most well-known set of verses in the Bible. Readers will undoubtedly catch some of Megan’s passion for trust-filled living as she inspires us to sprint after God’s good plans. If you’ve felt good and stuck, I’ve got good news: Meant for Good is the honest and hope-filled book on purpose you’ve been waiting for.”
“As someone who has really struggled with anxiety, this book widened my eyes to the hope I have in Jesus. And it’s not because Megan is clever and well spoken (although those things are true), but because this book left me knowing God more deeply than I did when I started. Megan doesn’t attempt to give us a list of feel-good solutions. Instead she leads us straight to the heart of a good God, because He is the only One who can give us real hope and peace.”
“I admire how open and descriptive Megan’s examples are from her own life. Meant for Good allows the reader to gain a perspective of what it looks like to have a relationship with God while giving Him your complete trust.”
“me to find the same kind of joy. She helps me understand God in a deeper way, but never in a way that makes Him feel far off and unapproachable. Rather, her words remind me that God is right here with me. Megan tells me I can trust God and then shows me how.”
“Megan Fate Marshman is hands-down one of my favorite Bible teachers on the planet. In Meant for Good, she unleashes biblical insight after biblical insight in the most accessible, inspiring, and human way to show again and again how great God’s plan is for YOU. This book is a must-read!”
