"I have spent my fair share of time in the waiting room, that place of sitting and waiting for it to be my turn.

Dr. Day gives us practical steps not just to wait but work, until it is our turn."

Drawing on biblical insights, current research, and poignant personal stories, she reminds us that God's activity in our lives is not limited to society's definition of or timetables for success.

Heather has given us a valuable resource for every chapter in our lives."
