Publisher's summary
A beautiful invitation to discover your place in God's heart and let him set the pace for your life - from a wife and mother, singer-songwriter, and worship leader for Passion Conferences and IF:Gathering
“Christy Nockels is a gentle, strong voice shepherding us into a fuller life with Jesus at the very center. This book will restore your weary soul.” (Jennie Allen, New York Times best-selling author of Get Out of Your Head and founder and visionary of IF:Gathering)
Christy Nockels knows firsthand how easily our desire to serve God - even when using the gifts he has given us - can overshadow our delight in simply being with him. When God called her to lay down her ministry for a season, Christy was forced to confront how her sense of purpose and worth had become tangled up in her work. God then lovingly invited her to discover true rest in his presence as she learned to live as the Beloved.
In The Life You Long For, Christy shows us how to let go of hustle and achievement and instead find our identity in the quiet center of God’s love. As we delight in being with him, we are filled to overflowing with contentment and love that propel us into an entirely new way of being, one in which every act of service and every encounter with the people around us arise from a heart at rest.
With irresistible warmth and grace, this book calls you to step fully into the life you didn’t even realize you’ve been seeking, as you find your highest calling not in a duty to uphold but in a beautiful identity to live out.
This audiobook features original music by Nathan Nockels and is used with permission of the artist.

Here, I am indeed Cicely, the actress who has been blessed to grace the stage and screen for six decades. Yet I am also the church girl who once rarely spoke a word. I am the teenager who sought solace in the verses of the old hymn for which this book is named. I am a daughter and mother, a sister, and a friend. I am an observer of human nature and the dreamer of audacious dreams.

How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance - certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference? It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That's because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don't appear to change anything. Either response can lead to disappointment or even despair in the face of our ongoing battles and unmet longings - especially when we don't know if we're doing something wrong or if some prayers just don't work.

Critic reviews
“Christians looking to slow down and form more intimate relationships will enjoy Nockels’ impassioned reminder that God provides a community and love to those who ask.” (Publishers Weekly)
“In the hustle and grind of life, we can mistakenly believe that our good works and effort curry favor with God. The Life You Long For is a song for us to learn and sing in our own harmony so our souls can be set free.” (Bianca Juarez Olthoff, speaker, teacher, and best-selling author of How to Have Your Life Not Suck)
“As I was reading The Life You Long For, I felt like I was having coffee with a sweet friend who was constantly reminding me and my heart to rest - not just any sort of rest, but resting in God’s love for me and His plans for me.” (Jamie Ivey, best-selling author and host of The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey podcast)

Story
In her new book, Stasi Eldredge meets listeners in their painful realities and offers an invitation to a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world. This joy does not Pollyannaish-ly ignore life's heartache; rather, it insists that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. This kind of joy is present to both goodness and grief and interprets them in the light of heaven.

Story
There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith - one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises.

Not everyone may frequent the church on the corner, but we each have a place of worship. For some, it's at the office. For others, before the mirror. Still others, on the basketball court. You were created to worship! So you naturally find a place to do it. But to worship anything less than God robs both Him and us. It's at the foot of the cross where we reel, trying to comprehend how a holy God could chase us down with kindness and redeem us from an eternity of futile gods.

You don't have to keep striving for freedom - instead, you can live in the freedom you already have in Christ. In this audiobook, Rebekah Lyons walks you through her journey of releasing stress, anxiety, and worry to uncover the peace that comes from Jesus Christ. Have you bought into the lie? So many of us do. We measure our worth by what others think of us. We compare and strive, living our lives for the approval of others. Pressure rises, fear and anxiety creep in, and we hustle to keep up.

For mothers of young children, this audiobook is a lovely offering of hope, truth, freedom, wild grace, friendship, and the knowledge that they are not alone. Many moms have dreamed of life with children, and yet the reality seems far away from their dreams. Their hearts are committed, but their spirits are sagging. This audiobook is a coffee-talk from one woman who is still “figuring-it-out-in-the-mess” (Sarah Mae) and much-needed counsel from one who is older and wiser (Sally Clarkson).

A tangible example of abiding in Christ
This book was really helpful for me as I am so prone to "performing" for God and trying to prove myself to Him. Christy provides countless examples of what it looks like to abide in Christ, which is a topic that has always been mysterious and abstract to me. I really like her writing style, too. You can tell she carefully selected every word to communicate her message and there are so many good lines that I want to remember and quote.
The book helped me rest in who I am in Christ. It was peace to me, like a lullaby in book form. I actually started listening to it a second time to digest all of the deep themes and lessons!

This will touch your soul
I listened to this book while caring for my elderly mother in the hospital. It was just what my soul needed to remind that real strength in tough times comes from living From God rather than living for God. As someone who was at IF Gathering years ago, I remember Christy sitting on the floor of the stage with her guitar singing over us, as the auditorium hushed and 2000 women stilled and quieted their souls to “Be Held” by the Love of God that she shared in her songs. Hearing Christy read her book was a beautiful reminder of that moment as I learn to live from a heart of rest even now.

Restarted it as soon as I finished it
Met me right where I was, and I am going back again for more! I love hearing it from Christy's voice! made it all the more precious to hear her saying her own words with the inflections and pauses that she wanted us to hear.

This book strengthens the soul and has so much truth in it's pages. I am meditating on what it means to be in Christ with the envelope analogy ♥️ and my heart takes comfort in the hidden place... Christ in me, me in Christ, and Christ in the Father.

A Story Beautifully Written!
A beautifully written reflection of God and His love that expressed how He holds us close and loves us in the good and the uncertain times in our lives! I wept at the end of the painting story! What a precious gift that mirrors the image of being embraced in Him in this world, but also for eternity!
