Description

For times when the world seems to be on pause, Christian leader, mentor, and author Krystal Ribble pairs biblical stories with the current familiar waiting periods of our lives, showing how we can be sure that God is with us while we wait.

Now more than ever,
Sit and Wait seems to be on everyone's agenda. Weaving stories of waiting from familiar Bible characters, Love Me in the Waiting helps readers to consider that the waiting times in life are always full of purpose, even if they aren't seen or felt. In Love Me in the Waiting readers will be encouraged as they wait, learning how they can benefit from the timeless wisdom of those who waited before us. In doing so, they can draw strength and comfort from these collected stories and know they're not alone in the waiting seasons.

A companion to the waiting you're sitting through right now or have experienced in the past,
Love Me in the Waiting takes readers through ten different biblical passages, focused on:
  1. Waiting for the Storm to Pass
  2. Waiting for New Life

  5. Waiting in the Wilderness
  6. Waiting for the Future

  8. Waiting for Deliverance
  9. Waiting on the World to Change
  10. Waiting for the Resurrection, Here and Now

  • Why is the Lord taking so long to give me the ending He s promised?
  • What is He doing or teaching me while I'm waiting?
  • How do I wait on a promise that I can't see?
  • How can I support my loved one who is in a season of waiting?

When your patience has worn thin or you're beginning to doubt God will be around for you, take heart from the pages of scripture. This book shows that modern experiences of ...

Awards & Endorsements

Mark Batterson- New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Maker

"Our days are filled with moments that sometimes compile into long waiting periods. Now, more than ever, people are experiencing the world at a slower pace. Waiting for our lives to “go back to normal” has been an unwelcomed definition of what truly waiting looks like. In Love Me in the Waiting, Krystal explores the why of the waiting and how we can wait, not only better, but more successfully than we ever have. The Bible gives us a great guidebook on how to wait well if we choose to see it that way. Do yourself a favor and dive into these words of wisdom to help you navigate uncertain seas in your life."

Scott Sauls- Author of several books, including Jesus Outside the Lines and A Gentle Answer
"The instantness of almost everything has, for Christians especially, caused many to devalue the centuries-long virtue of delayed gratification through waiting. Even the greatest saints of scripture did not receive all the promises in their lifetimes, because they were looking toward a “better country” whose architect and builder is God. In their waiting, and precisely because of their waiting, they found fertile soil that satisfied them in their waiting—soil that connected them to the source of joy Himself, who is Jesus Christ. Krystal does a wonderful job helping us reconnect with this soil."
