Publisher's summary

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.

Awesome!!!!

This book makes me feel like I am sitting down for coffee with a good friend! I love the imagery used to describe the stories in the Bible as well as the author sharing her personal journey. I love that she is real and relatable and gives us courage to be completely honest with God, dream, believe and wait. Thank you Elizabeth Laing Thompson...especially for making this an audiobook!! I am forever grateful!

So much better than I expected

I started this title in a moment of desperation, thinking that the Christian approach was probably going to be “too much” for me but hopeful that it would offer some guidance or perspective. Not only am I looking at my waiting season through a new lens, but I was inspired to revisit my relationship with God. I especially loved how stories from the Bible were told in ways that were entertaining and more importantly, relatable. If you’re stuck in a waiting season or maybe wondering if God remembers you exist, give it a listen.

Good for men and Women. Great Bible References. Many personal examples given that would be especially relatable for women.

Good for all to read/listen to, not written just for women so we can all gain from the Bible passages and information and truths presented. Written from the heart so so very personal circumstances given as examples which we can all understand and relate to but maybe even more so for women.

Great read for anyone seeking comfort in their times of waiting.

Excellent, motivating, life changing; written in such a personal way that I could relate to. I laughed, cried and rejoiced as Liz told her story and those of others. The Bible came to life as its characters were “ fleshed out.” Great read for anybody seeking comfort while in their waiting room.

Seriously great

have a short attention span when it comes to Christian books. Unfortunately, a lot of them bore me after a while, but THIS was something I couldn't "put down. " This was truly "a word" from God. Thank you for writing this book. It speaks to you in ways that others attempt to, but just don't quite deliver in fullness.
