Overview

"It seems that the only time we're not hurrying is when we're rushing. By the time we heed the calls of smartphones, iPods, iPads, emails, podcasts, downloads, app shopping, YouTubing, web browsing, posting, and responding to posts, we've ridden the amped-up hurry-train so far that we're lost. In fact, the last items in our list (""""posting and responding to posts"""") sound so much like """"marrying and giving in marriage"""" that we might well conclude that we are wedded to whipped-up drivenness. We need a fast from going fast. The gospel of Christ calls us to rest, but learning how takes time. We're invited to ease off the hurry-train and learn the pace of waiting. But waiting for what? To become a bit more like Jesus, who lived at a breathtakingly still point before the one who sent him."

"""Shores delves into the mystery of waiting on God and presents powerful truths that bring solidness and purpose to living in the tension of trusting and hoping in God alone, and not in our own selfish desires. He invites us to awaken our thirst to deepen our depth of discipleship and reminds us . . . that our homecoming is secure and our waiting will be worth it all."" --Sonya L. Reeder, Director, Hope Road Counseling ""We all have to wait. We all hate to wait. We try to deny waiting, to pretend, to fool ourselves. But wait we must. Steve takes a deep dive into both what makes waiting so hard and then how that waiting can be more for us than just something we have to get through. God will not only use it for our good, but he will meet us there!"" --Palmer Trice, Founding Director, the Barnabas Center"
