| Summary, etc.: | "Everyone is waiting. We wait for a bus, a spouse, a different job, a better life. We wait for Christ. At best, it's irritating; at worst, unbearable. But what if our frustrated longings have spiritual value? Enter four Bible heroes who waited impatiently: Sarah, Isaiah, John the Baptist and Mary. Through gripping storytelling, we immerse ourselves in their lives. We find empathy for our disappointment and doubt. We find perspective and purpose in delay. Above all, we find God in the waiting. With reflective questions and six Bible studies, Those Who Wait is ideal for personal devotion or group discussion. Also suitable as an Advent devotional."--Amazon.co.uk. |
