Have you ever gone through a season of feeling distant from God, wandering in your own desert feeling a bit lost in life? In her new book, For All Who Wander, Robin Dance has shared her season of wandering and how God used it in her life to bring her back to Himself.
From the Back Cover:
"Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24)
Her circumstances might not have been as dramatic as the father asking Jesus for a miracle, but Robin felt just as desperate in her faith. Yet feeling lost in a spiritual desert, she felt like it was the most honest prayer she could offer. Can you relate to struggling in your faith but longing to believe?
Faith is tidy and neat for some, never unwavering and always so sure. And maybe that's how you used to feel--before the heartbreak or challenges or exhaustion of life set in--but now your once-sure beliefs are less certain, the prescribed Sunday school answers no longer enough.
Inviting you to find hope and healing in your own story within the pages of hers, in For All Who Wander, Robin Dance will help you:
Abandon the guilt and shame attached to your questions or doubts.
Grasp a broader understanding of God's unrelenting faithfulness.
Reframe your view of difficulties and disappointments as you understand their redemptive and transformative value.
Trust that God is working in your wandering to restore and strengthen your faith.
As you walk through Robin's story with her, you'll discover that sometimes wandering is the path that leads you back to God.
My Thoughts:
This book was an interesting read for me. I enjoyed reading Robin's story and like others found part of my story among hers. I've struggled with doubting like many other Christians have at some point in their Christian walk. Robin's story is open and truthful about the struggle she faced, and how God used the struggle to reveal what was truly going on in her heart. I appreciate that she not only tells her story, but also shares the truth of God's Word to point her readers to Jesus. It was encouraging to know that I'm not the only one, and that even a season of doubting and wandering can be used in God's plan for your life.
My Rating: ★★★★
