Synopsis

Why Does God Make Us Wait? And Wait... And Wait...

In a fast-paced society, we don't like waiting for anything. Drive-throughs and microwaves expedite dinner while texting and email afford instantaneous communication. Because we're conditioned to expect instant gratification, we're startled--even frustrated--when we have to wait. And perhaps we become spiritually frustrated, doubting our faith, when we find ourselves waiting on God.

Bradley Baurain invites Christians to reject how society has conditioned us to view waiting--especially when it comes to knowing God. On Waiting Well identifies the experience of waiting as a crucial dimension to loving God, having faith, and following Christ. Your time doesn't have to become passive, purposeless, or tedious when God seems to be absent or moving slowly. Instead, discover how waiting is actually integral to God's plans of life and salvation. When we gain that perspective, these seemingly dry times of waiting become invigorating opportunities to strengthen our hope in God and see that He is always faithful.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The world is fast-paced--why isn't God?

In a society conditioned for instant gratification, we're startled--even frustrated--when anything tests our patience or requires us to wait. For the Christian, it's crucial to consider how this rapid tempo of living can distort spiritual living, steal joy, and threaten faith when we find ourselves waiting on God.

On Waiting Well invites you to reimagine waiting as both a crucial part of following God and a beautiful opportunity to experience His faithfulness. Bradley Baurain confronts society's expectations with biblical truth to help you see your waiting experiences as more than dry seasons to be endured. Discover how waiting is a privilege, a pleasure, and a step toward understanding God's boundless love for you.

"Brad Baurain has written a marvelous book on the important Christian virtue of waiting. . . . The result is a devotional book of the highest order."
-Leland Ryken, Emeritus Professor of English at Wheaton College and author of nearly sixty books
