My Review:

I don’t know about you, but I am not a fan of waiting. I am not a very patient person. Have you ever had to wait on someone or something? Even more personal, have you ever had to wait on God? At one point or another, if we are putting our faith in Christ, our faith will be tested. And often, that looks a lot like waiting. Waiting for God to show us our next steps, or to reveal a greater purpose behind our suffering, or to fulfill a longing of our hearts. 

Author Marlo Schalesky dives deep into this waiting period by looking at the Old Testament story of Sarah. For years, she longed for a baby— a baby that even God had promised her. Schalesky takes her readers on a journey with Sarah, helping us to discover more of God’s character and the wonder that can be found in the waiting. This book is small in comparison to other christian living books, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in content. Every page, every paragraph is rich with biblical truths about the sovereignty of God and the perfection in his timing. 

This is a great book to read for yourself and to gift to a friend! Definitely one to have on hand for those times when I don’t have the words to say to a friend, but God does. And this book can help steer them in His direction.
