Summary
Everyone experiences unmet desires and longings, and in her debut book, Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson helps Christian women discover true and deep joy in the real-life they've been given by God instead of the life they wish they had.
"All of us live with some sort of longing in our hearts -- a gap between the life we want and the life we actually have. As we try to navigate this sense of longing and the circumstances we desperately wish would change, we try to hang on to the belief that God will fulfill our desires, while waiting to see the answers to our prayers realized. For some, those prayers are answered. Yet for others, the longing persists, making us weary at best and debilitated at worst. Living this way leaves us asking the same questions: "How do I find God's joy in this life when it isn't the life I hoped for?" or "How do I deal with the gap between the life I want and the life I've been given?" In this is powerful book, Elizabeth Woodson (Bible teacher and fellow traveler down the road of longings) equips you for joyful living in that gap"--Back cover.
