The Waiting Room is a guidebook for every wife and mother. An inspirational look at dealing with, and overcoming hardship. I was personally really blessed in my relationship with my kids and husband after reading this.

This book "The Waiting Room" humbles me, it's not all about the "woe is me" factor. We all go through "difficult" times; each in our own way; feeling it can't get any worse, but we forget other people could be going through something much worse. The great thing about this book is that it tells us God is always with us in our own "waiting room". Not to look at the difficulty but look towards Christ and in doing that we become sensitive to God's heart; which is giving "HOPE" to others in hopeless situations.

This book is an awesome display of faith. It makes my trials seem trivial in comparison. Reading this book will increase anyone's faith and minister to the spirit. Several members of my family and church have purchased and read "The Waiting Room" and all have been blessed by the experience. Thanks Carrie for a labor of love!!

Once I began to read this wonderful book about faith and trust in God, I literally could not put it down until I had read every word. It was gripping and compelling from the first page to the last. The author's absolutely fascinating story is told in an extremely personal and highly readable style. This is a very special inspirational work which I highly recommend!

I had never thought before about the "waiting rooms" that we all eventually encounter in life, those situations where we must rest and wait. After reading "The Waiting Room" however, I have become more aware of how God indeed is working in these circumstances and how it is in the waiting room where we are changed and molded into his likeness. Carrie George bravely shares her very personal experiences in waiting rooms, both literally (hospital settings) and figuratively (those waiting places we experience). It is very encouraging to actually see how God worked in situations which on the surface would appear quite bleak, but which in reality were filled with his presence. "The Waiting Room" is inspiring and increased my faith tremendously as Ms. George, with honesty and openness, told of God's wonderous works in her family's waiting rooms. I highly recommend it.

This book is very encouraging. The author shows how a surrendered life can bring peace in the midst of the most difficult and trying circumstances in life. It was hard to put down once I started reading, although many times throughout I had to stop to contemplate the awesomeness of our God. I highly recommend this book.

Author Carrie George teaches about absolute surrender to the heart and will of Christ, and about a joy that is untouched by circumstance. Her life will encourage you and restore your hope. There is a quote that sums up the theme of this book:
"I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him; if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. My sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. He does nothing in vain." -John Henry Newman

This book will give you courage and strength to face your trials. You get a glimpse of God's faithfulness in impossible situations and this book will encourage you to find hope in a God that's much bigger than your circumstances. It is an easy and quick read, great for travel. I highly recommend it for everyone! You will be blessed.
