About this ebook
A Kind Companion for the Disorienting Space Between Crisis and Change
· Discover how to reframe the in-between as a tool of deep spiritual transformation
· Enlarge your vision of God, yourself, and life beyond the crisis
· Perfect for anyone in the aftermath of shock, change, or loss
When the initial shock waves begin to settle after a job loss, a diagnosis, a relationship breakdown, a season of grief or intense change, or a jarring shift in faith or identity, we find ourselves in the crisis after the crisis--the aftermath of whatever it is that has splayed our hearts wide open. These lonely, liminal spaces between who we were and who we're becoming are disorienting and confusing. It can be hard to hold on to hope when our bearings feel illusive.
But crises aren't just events that happen to us; they are catalysts--turning points--that happen around and within us, demanding we grow into a new version of ourselves. There is worth to be found in these liminal spaces, but we have to pause long enough to absorb what the middle actually is--put some language around it, locate ourselves within it, and orient ourselves to its disposition and ambition.
In the exhausting tension between here and there where pain and confusion feel loud, Adriel Booker helps you perceive God's quiet kindness that has been there all along, hidden in plain sight on the underside of crisis, change, and all the spaces in between. Adriel lights a candle in your darkness and companions you as you adjust to the low light and begin to apprehend the reality that you're already tethered to hope--even when you feel anything but.
