5"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it," 1 Corinthians 10:13. Many of us have probably heard a variation of this famous biblical passage, and it usually states that God will never give you more than you can handle. Others might respond, "Well, God won't give you more than you can handle, but sometimes life will... and that's why you need God!" Author Shirley De Rego's mother repeated this famous, favorite adage over and over, to match almost any and every one of life's calamities. However, when the author went through a series of losses, including the deaths of two sons, a breast cancer diagnosis, loss of her job in the mortgage industry, and eventually, her marriage, De Rego couldn't help but wonder if God was delivering "events to handle" to the wrong Shirley! De Rego wondered how she was supposed to continue in such a state. Then, the answer came running to her... with hope. Continue in Hope (Ho'omau Mana'olana) is the author's story of how she finally surrendered her pain to God, and how He, in turn, showed her that He is the only glue to fix a cracked and broken heart. Not only did He fix De Rego's heart, but God also nudged her to write the book you now hold, in order to give readers everywhere the same message of hope. God waits for you to give Him all your troubles, so He can show you He is always the true "way out."
