I've been using this book as a part of my morning devotional reading and have really enjoyed it. In fourteen short chapters, the author leads us through the life of Sarah during her long wait to see the promises of God fulfilled. In each one, there is a brief meditation from Sarah's point of view, as well as some of Ms. Schalesky's own experiences. She invites us to apply the message of faithful waiting to our own lives, and to see it as a blessing.
"Legacy is born in the waiting. A life that matters is not built through a big bang of success, but through God's work in the long wait. It was true for Sarah. It is true for us. God is working in our waiting to create a masterpiece, to create a life that points to the wonder of his majesty and love."
If you are waiting for something in your own life -- something to change, something to happen, some way to understand what seems unfathomable, this may be the book for you. Biblically based and realistic (yes, we will all fall down at times, just as Sarah did), it encourages a thoughtful perspective. God is at work, even when we cannot see Him.
VERDICT: 5 STARS
