Review

Praise for When God Waits:

“Jerome Daley explains the value of faithfully doing what we know to do until God reveals the next step. None of us likes to wait. But God does some of his most important work in the lives of those who are waiting for God to fulfill the calling He has placed on them. If you’re longing for God to open up your destiny, read this book. When God Waits is a much-needed gift to all who have ever wished that God would just hurry up!”
–Ted Haggard, pastor, author, and president of the National Association of Evangelicals

“In When God Waits, Jerome Daley probes one of God’s more frustrating habits: promising a hope and a future, and then hanging fire. What is God waiting for? Daley, in search of an answer, quarries several stories from Scripture as well as his own season of limbo, and emerges with a reminder of the riches hidden within divine delay.”
–Mark Buchanan, author of The Holy Wild

“Jerome Daley has extended an irresistible invitation to those of us who sometimes find ourselves desperately clinging to the hope that there’s a purpose in life’s disappointments and difficulties. When God Waits is written by someone who, having endured the darkness, has become resolute in his belief that God is unrelentingly good and outrageously in love with us.”  
–Fil Anderson, author of Running On Empty: Contemplative Spirituality for Overachievers

When God Waits provides a landing place for the confusion and disillusionment that come from seasons of seeming inactivity on the part of God. Jerome Daley has done my heart a service through this beautiful work, encouraging me that the waiting is actually doing something in me, is actually taking me somewhere good.”
–Jan Meyers, author of The Allure of Hope and Listening to Love

“Jerome Daley reminds us of the beauty, presence, and purpose of God in the waiting period, and that God is just as amazing then as He is at any other time. Readers will grow to trust God even more, and will be greatly rewarded as they are encouraged to faint not.”
–Che Ahn, Senior Pastor, Harvest Rock Church, Pasadena, California

“Even when our lives seem chaotic and aimless, God is up to something. When God Waits gives us fresh insight to liberate us from discouragement and confusion when things don’t appear to work out the way we want. Even more, it gives us a strategic plan of action to follow that will lead to activating the destiny God has for us.”
–Linus Morris, President, Christian Associates International


Product Description

Is God keeping you waiting?

Does it feel like God has pushed the pause button on your life? If you’re frustrated by God’s apparent slowness, don’t assume that having to wait is a waste of time. God does some of his most important work in your life during these divine delays.

Many of the men and women of faith that we read about in the Bible had to endure long, difficult seasons of waiting before they could fulfill God’s destiny for their lives. And just like these biblical heroes, you can learn how to see what God is doing–and how he is changing your life–while you’re waiting.

Don’t miss out on the richness of this God-ordained lag between catching a vision for your calling and seeing God fulfill it. No matter how long you have to wait, you can be transformed as God prepares you to fulfill your divine calling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe you are like me..., May 25, 2005
By ~arielle (Chapel Hill, NC) - See all my reviews
Maybe you are like me... God has spoken to you about His calling for your life... about His vision for your future... about the places you are going to go and the things you are going to do... But all of that was spoken a long time ago and like me, you are still waiting to see it come to pass.

So, the questions swirl around you: why is it taking so long? What am I supposed to be doing in the mean time? Why is God waiting???

From the moment I picked up the book, "When God Waits: Making Sense of Divine Delays," I couldn't put it down. Seriously, I read the entire thing in one evening and became completely undone as I finally found some answers to my frustrations and some peace for my soul.

This book speaks to that place of frustration with an easy to read and captivating narrative that weaves in the authors' personal experiences with that of key figures from the bible who also had to wait for their destinies to be fulfilled.

If you are trying to make sense of the purposes of God and the role He is looking for you to play while you are waiting, I would highly recommend this book and encourage you to get two copies... because once you read it, some friend or family member will come to mind that you know needs to read it also!

4.0 out of 5 stars Answering the hard Questions, May 21, 2005
Jerome Daley is a Christian writer of the twenty-first century. He is willing to ask the hard questions, and willing to take us all along on a journey to find the answers. In When God Waits, we join in the struggle with Jerome to draw closer to God and hear his heartbeat, as he works out his plan for each one of us. Waiting is something we do not do well in the twenty-first century. Jerome helps us be patient and understanding when it comes to the deep isuues of God.
Pastor Kim Wenzel, Director, Smoldering Wick Ministries

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for all who see their faith as a journey, May 16, 2005
By J. Reklis (Chapel Hill, NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Jerome Daley really does help you make sense of divine delays. Even more than that he gives you a road map to navigate your soul through those inevitable seasons of waiting. When God Waits really leads you to discover the transforming power of what it means to wait on God where you exchange your weakness for His strength. Jerome does so not with lofty theological ideas, but candid and often humorous lessons he learns as he journeys with God. A very good read. Hard to put down once you begin.
