Finding purpose in a life’s difficult chapters

Kasey Van Norman builds this Christian spiritual-growth book around a faith-based understanding of personal history: painful experiences and past mistakes can become part of a story of redemption. She draws on her own experiences—including a difficult childhood, infidelity, and cancer—to explore how unresolved wounds and patterns affected her life and how revisiting the past shaped her understanding of God. The book connects that personal account to reflection on readers’ own histories, presenting the belief that a life’s hardships need not be meaningless or erased for the future to hold purpose.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Christian approaches to spiritual growth and redemption.
  • Those seeking faith-based reflection on past mistakes, painful experiences, and personal history.
  • Readers who value personal testimony as part of religious teaching.

Book overview

We all have past experiences we wish we could redo or undo altogether. In Nothing Wasted, counselor and teacher Kasey Van Norman's vulnerability invites you to discover God's personal and purposeful design for your future--not in spite of your story, but through it.

What if the pain and mistakes of your past are exactly what God wants to use to redeem your future?

A difficult childhood, public infidelity, and a fight with cancer--Kasey Van Norman has walked a rocky road of regret and loss. Shockingly, God would take her back to move her forward, uprooting her undealt-with wounds, secret shame, and intimacy-sabotaging patterns of behavior. No longer running from her past, but instead, allowing herself to be defined by it, Kasey discovered a God more intentional and loving than she'd ever believed him to be.

In this book, she shares the truth that no part of our life story is wasted--but purposefully designed and used by God to shape who we are meant to be. With vulnerability, sound doctrine, and humor, Kasey unfolds the brokenness in her own life to:

  • Remind you that a holy, sovereign God lovingly works through your past mistakes
  • Help you look at your own past to embrace it as the necessary setup for your future
  • Point to the God who can weave together a beautiful story of redemption in your life

No experience or relationship has been a mistake. You are no mere byproduct of random events, and you do not need a do-over! Because with God, nothing is wasted.

Also available: video study and study guide.
