Description

“This book - the fullness, depth, and beauty of Sarah Bessey’s faith and artistic genius - is a miracle” (Glennon Doyle, number one New York Times best-selling author of Love Warrior) and an unforgettable and life-affirming exploration of how trauma can strengthen your faith and miracles can be found in unexpected places. 

In the brief instant Sarah Bessey realized that her minivan was, inevitably, going to hit the car on the highway on the bright, clear day of the crash, she knew intuitively that it would have life-changing consequences. But as she navigated the winding path from her life before the accident - as a popular author, preacher, and loving wife and mother - to her new life after, inhabiting a body that no longer felt like her own, she found that the most unexpected result was how it shook her deeply rooted faith, upending everything she thought she knew and held so dearly. Weaving together theology and memoir, Sarah delivers “a well-written reminder of seeing the miracles in life’s highs and lows” (Library Journal). The road of healing leads to Rome, where she met the pope (it’s complicated) and encountered the Holy Spirit in the last place she expected. She writes about her miraculous healing, learning to live with chronic pain, and the ways God makes us whole in the midst of suffering. She invites us to a path of knowing God that is filled with ordinary miracles, hope in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and other completely reasonable things.

Insightful, profound, and unexpected, “Sarah’s writing is so breathtaking, sometimes you think you are reading poetry. The story is so thrilling, sometimes you think you are devouring a novel. And the Spirit she describes is so compelling, you’ll swear you experienced a revival. You won’t put it down once until you close the last page” (Jen Hatmaker, New York Times best-selling author).

Meandering and Worth a Listen

Sarah is a very relatable person and a lot of her personality comes out in this. The narrative is meandering and possibly loses itself here and there; nonetheless it is worth the read/listen. Most redeeming, after the releif you'll feel from her openness and embodied Grace, is of course her repeated mentions of drinking tea. We tea drinkers have to stick together.

Allowed me to think about faith in Jesus again.

This book brought so many tears to my eyes as Sarah ripped my heart open with her stunning and Terrific words. Her stories and the way she told them allowed me to think about prayer again. About loving Jesus with all of me again. About faith and life. It’s beautiful and contemplative. Profound and soul stirring. Thank you for your words Sarah.

Beautiful

This book is beautiful. It’s for those of us who no longer believe in a miraculous cure, but who still long for healing. Gentle and kind, Sarah gives us hope.

oh Sarah bessey I love you!

Shis book was so good for my heart. I was touched by the honesty and the beauty of Sarah's writing. Humbling, inspiring, empowering in the most gentle, everyday kind of way. Thank you friend.

(the ONLY way I could love it more is with Sarah's own narration, but wow it was beautifully and tenderly written and read.)

A gift 🥰

This book is such a gift! I bought it after reading that another author/speaker that I follow, Jen Hatmaker, read it in one sitting. I’m so glad I did, and I will definitely be listening to it again to absorb even more from Sarah’s story. Thank you Sarah!

Truly a beautiful experience

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about faith and how it is woven into our lives whether we are on the hilltop or in the valley. It is beautifully written and I hated for it to end. It is truly a gift.

Story of hope and healing

breathtaking. My cynical heart broke open. It is a combination of theology and storytelling with a splash of preaching , but mostly it's like sitting with a friend on the edge of your seat hearing where they've been after a long separation.

good, but not groundbreaking

it felt like there were more words than there was meaning-making. It's lovely and well-written, and it may just be that I've read too much of the same recently, but I didn't receive much in the way of new insight here.

Uplifting story in a troubled time

I was able to hear Sarah Bessey in person at a woman’s conference is Texas in May 2022. She was the keynote speaker at a Presbyterian woman’s conference at Mo-Ranch in Hunt, Texas. Sarah is not Presbyterian or Texan. She spoke with a Canadian accent and observed how different her approach to Jesus and God would be from many other previous speakers. She described herself as a charismatic feminist. After hearing her speak, I wanted to hear more about her. I chose this book in audio form so that I and my 2 friends could listen to her on the 6 hour drive home. We listened with interest and curiosity. She is a wonderful writer and gifted story teller. While I was listening to this book 21 people were murdered in Uvalde, Texas. Finishing this book was all I wanted to do. And that experience didn’t disappoint. In the face of that horrible event, this book gave me insight and courage to delve more deeply into who God is and what his plan is for me and this world.

Good for a season of despair.

This is my first book by Sarah. I'm not sure what I expected. Sarah's emotions can be felt all throughout this book. Her love for God and people are present. I'm not sure that I had any "WOW" moments but maybe they will come later when something makes me think of the book and I realize the God moment taking place before me. It could also be that I'm not in the same season as she is while she writes this book. If you are in a season of despair this book is likely just what you will want to hear.
