Summary

Winner of a Chicago Book Clinic 2004 Design Award!Do you ever feel lost--feel no sure sense of who you are, what life is about and where God is in the midst of it all? Do you find that you are wandering in the wilderness?This sense of lostness often comes in times of transition--whether moving from one city to another, a health crisis, loss of a family member through death or divorce, or downsizing at work. Jane Rubietta has written this book to help and encourage you through the wilderness of transition.To get back on track you need to begin to make hard choices: to be found by God and others, to feel, to find meaning in the pain, to flourish, to find fun and even to worship again. This book is a companion through your wilderness journey. In each chapter you'll find helpful questions for reflection and readings to nurture your devotional life. God has good gifts for you--even in the wilderness. Come and find them!
