"I've fallen in love with this book. It reads as an anthem for the chronically hesitant among us, gently guiding us away from the belief that this life is up to us, inviting us instead to enter into the larger story of God."--from the foreword by Emily P. Freeman  
  
We all long for certainty in life, yet things often don't go as we expect. When facing illness, job loss, strained relationships, and other struggles, our impulse is to question God and strive to fix things ourselves.   
  
In this profound book, trusted ministry leader and leadership coach Shelly Miller shares how to reframe uncertain times and turn them into purposeful times of spiritual growth. Learn how to break unhelpful habits and thought patterns, make decisions in faith rather than fear, and know deeper than ever before that God loves you not for what you know or do, but for who you are.
