About the book:
It’s easy to believe God when a promise is new. It’s hard when the years pass and nothing changes. It’s even harder when desperation strikes, your plans backfire, and still God does not fill the emptiness. But what if, in this waiting, God is calling us to more?
Join author Marlo Schalesky on a unique, contemplative journey to reveal the wonder that is often missed when we find ourselves struggling to wait well. Walking through the life of the biblical character Sarah, one who knows what it means to wait, you will discover a glimpse of God’s character that will give you strength to keep hoping and praying for the desires of your heart.
Waiting for Wonder is a journey into the heart of God where you will wrestle with personal questions, think deeply about God’s true character, and learn to appreciate His divine work as you discover your own path to the promised land. Recapture your hope, restore your soul, and renew your vision of a wondrous Savior when you learn to live on God’s time.

My thoughts:
Waiting for Wonder was a book I wasn't sure about when I started, but it didn't take long for me to realize what a wonderful read it was. I found several quotes in the book very inspiring and they made me think. One of them is "There is purpose in the waiting place." Page 28
I loved the "Sarai tells the story" parts in the book. Those moments almost felt like biblical fiction, but not. It really made see that story from a different perspective and I found that fascinating.
All in all, I definitely recommend Waiting for Wonder. It was a fantastic read!

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ~ Philippians 4:8
