This book-the fullness, depth, and beauty of Sarah Besseys faith and artistic genius-is a miracle (Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior) and an unforgettable and life-affirming exploration of how trauma can strengthen your faith and miracles can be found in unexpected places.In the brief instant Sarah Bessey realized that her minivan was, inevitably, going to hit the car on the highway on the bright, clear day of the crash, she knew intuitively that it would have life-changing consequences. But as she navigated the winding path from her life before the accident-as a popular author, preacher, and loving wife and mother-to her new life after, inhabiting a body that no longer felt like her own, she found that the most unexpected result was how it shook her deeply rooted faith, upending everything she thought she knew and held so dearly.Weaving together theology and memoir, Sarah delivers a well-written reminder of seeing the miracles in lifes highs and lows (Library Journal). The road of healing leads to Rome where she met the Pope (its complicated) and encountered the Holy Spirit in the last place she expected. She writes about her miraculous healing, learning to live with chronic pain, and the ways God makes us whole in the midst of suffering. She invites us to a path of knowing God that is filled with ordinary miracles, hope in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and other completely reasonable things.Insightful, profound, and unexpected, Sarahs writing is so breathtaking, sometimes you think you are reading poetry. The story is so thrilling, sometimes you think you are devouring a novel. And the Spirit she describes is so compelling, youll swear you experienced a revival. You wont put it down once until you close the last page (Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author).
