When Life Doesn’t Turn Out as Planned — or Prayed
”Be That As It May” A raw and unfiltered reflection of My life, by Dr. Erik X Alonso
”Be That As It May” A raw and unfiltered reflection of My life, by Dr. Erik X Alonso
Be That As It May is a raw and unfiltered reflection on what happens when life does not turn out the way you prayed it would.
With psychological insight and spiritual honesty, Erik explores the tension between unwavering belief in God’s existence and the painful erosion of faith in divine provision. This is not a book about easy miracles or polished testimonies. It is about surviving disillusionment. It is about wrestling with poverty, consequence, regret, and the fear of becoming invisible to the world.
Through deeply personal narrative and reflective commentary, Be That As It May confronts:
The collapse of the life you tried desperately to prevent. The shame of public consequence. The longing for autonomy, safety, and quiet abundance. The ache of unmet prayers. The struggle to reconcile faith with suffering. Yet beneath the grief lies something steadier — a quieter strength. A resolve to rebuild not for applause, but for peace. Not for impressiveness, but for sufficiency. Not to be seen, but to be whole.
This book speaks to anyone who has believed deeply… and still found themselves broken. It is for those who remain faithful — but are no longer naïve. For those who whisper, “I still believe… but I don’t understand.”
Be that as it may… I will endure.
Be That As It May is a deeply honest reflection on faith tested by hardship. It explores what happens when belief remains, but provision, certainty, and control fall away. This is a story of consequence, endurance, and the quiet determination to rebuild a life rooted not in appearance, but in peace.
