When God says, “Wait,” we face one of life’s greatest tests. When God says, … says, “Wait,” we face one of life’s greatest tests.

Very uplifting. Just what I needed.
This book is a great read for anyone in a season of waiting. It’s is encouraging and brings you back to the Bible stories for that encourage your heart.
I liked the authors writing style, her transparency in sharing her life experiences and how they related to each chapter’s theme. The journal and prayer prompts t the end of each chapter were effective incentives and helpful tools for those who wanted to apply what they just read to their own lives and situations.
The book was easy to read and had good balance between personal views and scriptures. I found myself picking up the book over and over to keep reading until the end of the book.
