Between Stories

About the Book

Are you disappointed with your life? Maybe the narrative you've been collecting lately hasn't been the kind you would have chosen for yourself. You're stuck in traffic every day for a job you're not crazy about. You refresh your inbox repeatedly for that acceptance letter, but it never comes. You've been on a dozen mediocre first dates. You've been trying to have kids for years. The pain in your back is getting worse. You continue to pray for relief. You don't feel relief. You want to see the good in where you are, but it's hard. Although it doesn't always feel like it, it is an incalculable gift to be alive, and not just for the milestone moments, either. Guided by faithful, Biblical study, informed by others' stories, and driven by his own experiences, Joel looks at how to be present and, ultimately, see the joy in the season that you're in. This book is a practical and personal book to people who long for a season other than the one they are in. This is a declaration that each tear, every pain, and all of the waiting matters. Every act in your story matters.
