3 stars. There was some beautiful writing and great Biblical deconstructing. The author is skilled at writing Biblical narrative, but the novel lacks in a lot of major ways. Review to come.

Due to being a high school teacher, I have been falling behind on reviews. Here are my initial thoughts.

“Wait” by Rebecca Brewster Stevenson was a wonderful read! Rebecca is full of wisdom beyond her years. She shares scriptures/Bible stories and how they relate to waiting. She also shares about her own personal life and how she has had to wait. I like when an author does this because it shows that they really know what they’re writing about! This also helps me relate more to her. Waiting is something that is very hard for a lot of people, especially me. There was a lot of valuable tidbits of information in this book that I definitely will hold on to!

One of my favorite quotes from her is, “Praise is verbalized trust. It’s the other side of asking. It’s thanking God in advance for His answers, no matter what it is, because our confidence is in who He is and the goodness-again, no matter what- of what He will do.”

I highly recommend this book to everyone. I think it is definitely worth the read!

I received this book from the publisher through Netgalley for my honest opinion.

Waiting on God is never easy. But it's something we must do. Waiting on God allows us to grow in maturity and perseverance.
