Amazing

this is one of the most encouraging books i have found on this topic of waiting. I Recommend this book for any Christ loving person, that wants to glorify him while being in sorrow through waiting.

Perhaps not what I was looking for

Struggled to finish it. Also gave it as a gift and the person gave up. she's definitely a good writer, however I could not relate to her topic. I picked up the book as a resource for patience while dealing with stage 4 colon cancer. my mistake.

Holy crap! Save your credit and money.

Rarely do I come across a book that I didn't like. And this is one of them. I'm hopeful the book can benefit someone else who suffers from a debilitating syndrome, whatever the degree. But every other word is me, mine, my, and I. In her first voice.

I know she's talking about her experiences with trichotillomania and the fear of being judged but it kind of gets overwhelming. Not in a self depreciating mode, because she boasts enough about her good Christian background and more than excellent confidence. It gets to be overwhelming because it's not engaging.

Ugh, and she keeps writing about how the woman who bled for 12 years like she was living modern day. As if she had health care, saw doctors, and then paid with it from her dowry? Using a parable from the Bible can't parallel modern day medical advances. Poorly written. And performance is okay?

A Beautiful Story of Courage and Hope

Ann Swindell's vulnerable story is heartfelt, courageous, real and hopeful. I'd encourage anyone sturggling with anything that requires waiting, beyond understanding, to read/listen to it.

Powerful

Get this book, especially if you are still waiting. Well written and honest about the struggle of waiting.
