5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, Easy Reading and Right on Target, March 2, 2002

This review is from: You're Late Again, Lord! The Impatient Woman's Guide to God's Timing (Paperback)

Who hasn't had to wait for something they wanted -- a house to sell, a better job, a spouse, a wayward child to return? This book is one you won't want to put down because it is so on target for each of us. In her delightful writing style, Karon Goodman teaches the reader how to stop begging, pleading and demanding that God adjust life to her own timing, and learn to find purposes, direction, closeness to the Lord, and, yes, even enjoyment in the wait. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who's ever felt like they've been stuck in a 'waiting room.'

This review is from: You're Late Again, Lord! The Impatient Woman's Guide to God's Timing (Paperback)

If you have been on earth long enough, your patience has been or will eventually be tested. Not only tested one time, but numerous times. The waiting period from trial to trial at times seem unfair and unbearable. Karon Phillips Goodman shares some profound insights with those of us who have difficult "waiting room" moments.

What do you do during the wait? Do you pout, complain and throw yourself a pity party? Maybe you try plan after plan only to see each one fail?

Karon proposes the idea of waiting "purposely". During our wait it is not God's desire for us to suffer needlessly, but to draw closer to Him. Karon humoruously shares her personal experiences as she learns how to wait purposely. She lets the reader know it is not an easy task, but the benefits are enormous as we choose to let the Holy Spirit guide us to the next level of our Christian walk.

This is a small book, but it's packed with an abundance of wisdom! Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and give you a new outlook the next time your patience is put to the test.
