Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet: Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things

Autor Sara Hagerty Cuvânt înainte de Katie Davis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 apr 2016
Sara Hagerty masterfully draws from her own story of spiritual and physical barrenness to birth in readers a new longing for God. With exquisite storytelling and reflection, Hagerty guides readers to a tender place that God is holding just for them—a place where he shapes the bitterness of lost expectations into deep, new places of knowing Him.
In the age of fingertip access to answers and a limitless supply of ambitions, where do we find the God who was birthed in dirt and straw? Sara Hagerty found him when life stopped working for her. She found him when she was a young adult mired in spiritual busyness and when she was a new bride with doubts about whether her fledgling marriage would survive. She found him alone in the night as she cradled her longing for babies who did not come. She found him as she kissed the faces of children on another continent who had lived years without a mommy’s touch.
In Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet, Hagerty masterfully draws from the narrative of her life to craft a mosaic of a God who leans into broken stories. Here readers see a God who is present in every changing circumstance. Most significantly, they see a God who is present in every unchanging circumstance as well
Whatever lost expectations readers are facing—in family, career, singleness, or marriage—Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet will bring them closer to a God who longs for them to know him more. What does it look like to know God’s nearness when life breaks? What does it mean to receive his life when earthly life remains barren? How can God turn the bitterness of unmet desire into new flavors of joy?
With exquisite storytelling and reflection, Hagerty brings readers back to hope, back to healing, back to a place that God is holding for them alone—a place where the unseen is more real than what the eye can perceive. A place where every bitter thing is sweet.

Public țintă

Primary: Christian woman ages 28-45. Most attend church on a regular basis but some are simply social church-goers but who would self-identify as Christians. They live in the United States, have finished high-school and (many) are college educated. They found this book because they have experienced hunger. Many of them had a life "hiccup" -- something that didn’t work quite how they planned (marital struggles, financial stress, loss to death, barrenness, career loss, parenting-woes, pains of adoption, friendship strife). Life is working but their hearts don't seem full. They are experiencing the dissonance of following (and even proclaiming) Jesus, but not feeling Him alive, within. They like to read blogs and loved One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. Secondary: Adoptive parents and those with a heart for orphans. Women who have experienced infertility.
