When God Says Wait: Navigating Lif's Detours and Delays Without Losing Your Fairth, Your Friends, or Your Mind

A job, a true love, a baby, a cure. . .
We're all waiting for something from God.
And the place between His answers can feel like a wasteland where dreams--and faith--go to die.
When we're waiting, we wonder, "Why?," "Why me?," and "How long?"

But the truth? . . .
When God says, "Wait," He doesn't tell us for how long.
When God says, "Wait," we face one of life's greatest tests.
When God says, "Wait," we have decisions to make.
When God says, "Wait," we can control only two things: how we wait, and who we become along the way.

Author Elizabeth Laing Thompson invites you to walk alongside people of the Bible who had to wait on God. . .imperfect heroes like David, Miriam, Naomi, Sarah, Joseph, and others. Their stories will provide a roadmap for your own story, helping you navigate the painful, lonely territory of waiting, coming out on the other side with your faith, relationships, and sense of humor intact. They might even help you learn to enjoy the ride.

This book is about the journey of waiting, the space between answers, and the people we become while we live there.
