Everyone is waiting. We wait for a bus, a spouse, a different job, a better life. We wait for Christ. At best, it's irritating; at worst, unbearable. But what if our frustrated longings have spiritual value?
Enter four Bible heroes who waited impatiently: Sarah, Isaiah, John the Baptist and Mary. Through gripping storytelling, we immerse ourselves in their lives. We find empathy for our disappointment and doubt. We find perspective and purpose in delay. Above all, we find God in the waiting. With reflective questions and six Bible studies, Those Who Wait is ideal for personal devotion or group discussion.
Also suitable as an Advent devotional. RRP £9.99 / $13.99Praise for Those Who Wait:
“This is a gentle book full of humanity, biblical integrity and unexpected humour. It hums and brims with hard-won insights for those of us who wait for miracles, those who've given up waiting for miracles but would at least appreciate a few answers, and those who would simply like a little more hope."Helpfully designed for groups as well as individuals, I have no doubt that Those Who Wait will bring comfort, tears of relief, and smiles of recognition to many, many people.”
- Pete Greig, author of God on Mute: Engaging the Silence of Unanswered Prayer, Spokesman for 24-7 Prayer International and Pastor of Emmaus Rd, Guildford
