The Weight of the Wait: God's Unexpected Purpose for Life's Hardest Seasons

Sam Wegner thought he had learned to manage the heaviness of waiting as he cared for his wife during her battle with breast cancer, but when the disease metastasized to her bones and became incurable, he began to palpably feel it. Even though treatment significantly slowed tumor growth, it also extended the wait time for the inevitable result and added to his burden. Looking for relief, he turned to the Scriptures only to discover that God intentionally created waiting and uses it to drive a continuous cycle of spiritual development in our lives. With engaging style, Sam unpacks key Bible passages which explain why God makes us wait, and how waiting is connected to hope, faith, and spiritual growth. Drawing from personal experience with waiting through joblessness and his wife's illness, he offers practical advice on how to enter rest instead of being crushed by the weight of the wait, how to find God's unexpected purpose for life's hardest seasons.
