Get ready to experience God and fresh revelations of hope.” —Pam Vredevelt, bestselling author of The Power of Letting Go Through historical anecdotes, personal memoir, observation, prayer, and a mixture of prose and poetry, Dr. Margaret Wills allows the reader to join her on her own search for peace, hope, and meaning in the midst of loss and pain. She also encourages praise and appreciation at all times, for God’s heart toward his children is unchanging. With honest and intimate revelation, she explores the “thin places” where God’s presence is deeply felt when the veil is momentarily lifted: the storms of life, including damaged relationships, the death of a loved one, personal confusion, and gripping sorrow. Dr. Wills considers the character of God, our father and king but also the greatest servant and the wisest teacher, relating to the quiet victories and the unending challenges of everyday life. She invites you to celebrate in the struggle and ultimate triumph of faith founded in Jesus Christ, the beauty and diversity of creation, and the hope to be had in this life and the next through saving grace. “How beautifully Margaret portrays the thin places—the tender places—the most significant places of our souls. Her work is compelling and rich with passion. Struggling to find the thin places of your life? This book is the first thing I would put in your hands.” —Tammy Maltby, author of The God Who Sees You “Resurrection life is real and it often surprises us in the bleakest of winters, as these well-written stories reveal.” —Dee Brestin, author of The Friendships of Women
