There are doctors for every physical ailment under the sun-backaches, stomachaches, and even heartaches. But when your problem requires divine intervention, you need a spiritual doctor who can give you the medicine you need. Live a more spiritual life, and improve your life, health, and outlook on life. It all begins by going where you can get the right treatment-God's Waiting Room.

Waiting on God


Book Description

We have all experienced a disconnect between God's promises to us and our everyday reality. We wait, without understanding why. We want to know God's plan so that we can trust it--but God so often hides his plan so that we will trust him. What can we do in the meantime as we are waiting for an answer, a change, or a miracle? With deep compassion, Wayne Stiles helps readers understand why God makes them wait. Unpacking the Old Testament story of Joseph, Stiles shows readers how to find comfort and opportunity in the time between God's promises and his answers, revealing the perspective-altering truth that sometimes when we think we are waiting on God, he is actually waiting on us. Anyone who has felt a disconnect between God's promises and their reality, who doesn't know what God wants them to do next, or who struggles with the brokenness of their world will find in Wayne Stiles a wise and trustworthy guide to finding peace in the pauses.

God's Waiting Room


Book Description

Lisânias Moura has served as a Baptist pastor for more than three decades. He has counseled countless men and women who were undergoing pain and suffering. He himself has experienced moments of great anguish when his trust in God was put to the test. When it comes to faith, the subject of suffering is often the most difficult to deal with. In this respect, God's Waiting Room qualifies as an essential work. As he explores the life lessons contained in the book of the prophet Habakkuk, the author masterfully intertwines his own stories with examples from his counseling ministry. With sensitivity, honesty and deep emotion, Moura avoids worn-out platitudes and a prosperity-like triumphalism. He shows the way to recover the hope that often eludes us when we are in the "waiting room." In a gracious, surprising manner, he shows how the waiting room can be transformed into a space full of hope.




God's Waiting Room


Book Description

Can older racists change their tune, or will they haunt us further once they're gone? Rich in mystery and life's lessons, God's Waiting Room considers what matters in the end for older white adults and the younger Black nurses who care for them. An innovation in creative nonfiction, Casey Golomski's story of his years of immersive research at a nursing home in South Africa, thirty years after the end of apartheid, is narrated as a one-day, room-by-room tour. The story is told in breathtakingly intimate and witty conversations with the home's residents and nurses, including the untold story of Nelson Mandela's Robben Island prison nurse, and readers learn how ageism, sexism, and racism intersect and impact health care both in South Africa and in the United States, as well as create conditions in which people primed to be enemies find grace despite the odds.
