This brilliant book is a tender gift of the presence of God for those caught in the deep woods of medical uncertainty. When we are in the hospital waiting for resolution, we don’t need a long chapter of admonitions or vague mumblings of comfort. We need a guide who has traversed this terrain and has a compass and a map to help us orient our journey. Elizabeth Turnage offers a wisdom that has been hard won, meets the test of the gospel, and is beautifully and brilliantly written. I can’t recommend this book more highly than to say you need a copy for yourself and eventually for every friend or family member who is called to wait for redemption.

When words fail you Sometimes in the darkest seasons of life, we find it difficult to put words to the conflicting thoughts and feelings we're experiencing or to provide the right words of hope and comfort to the loved ones we're called to come alongside.

Through beautifully thought out biblical devotionals as well as song, she brings hope, comfort and wisdom that are so needed during health crisis or other life traumas. The stories she shares are of her own season of crisis where she was thrown into multiple roles as caregiver and warrior. Whatever, you are going through, Elizabeth gets it, and more importantly, she points you to Christ who really gets it. He is well acquainted with our sufferings and Elizabeth reminds us of the hope and comfort found knowings his eyes are on us and He never lets go.Have You Ever Spent Time in the Waiting Room? I have.
