Having suffered chronic, incapacitating ill health, Tanya Marlow brings authenticity to her handling of the experience of waiting. The depth of her thoughtful consideration, along with a sense of the years spent experiencing the reality of waiting, courses through the book. The question she poses is ‘What is the “Christian” way to wait?’
In the opening chapters, using some helpful exercises, she prompts us to consider ways in which all of us are waiting for something – for justice in the world; for the loneliness to pass; for our addiction to stop ruling us.
