If you are thinking about buying Wait and See for yourself or someone else, I recommend it! Read some other reviews, and I'm confident they'll recommend this book as well.
I'm going to buy a copy for my pastor to keep in the church's library to lend or give to someone when they need it. The chapters end with a “Digging Deeper with David” section for straightforward and relevant Bible study, and Wendy Pope encourages readers to journal about their personal and current seasons of waiting (there's even space in the back of the book for it!). Following God's Word and seeking Him is the only way to find the best path for my journey. And I'm glad to be able to challenge myself now with Wendy's thoughts and the Biblical truths she shares.
Guess what? I am in a season of waiting, too it just looks different than everyone else's. Thus ended my quick and pleasant read, and my slow and steady study began. I realized how much I had been acting in certain areas of my life without fully seeking God's will and way.
Then I read this line in chapter 2: “My rush showed no regard for how God wanted to prepare me for what was next.” Whoa. When I started to read my copy, I was interested, and I could see how others around me were 'waiting on God,' but I did not really see myself as in a season of waiting. Wendy Pope pulls from her own experiences, the stories of others, and the life of David to help others “wait well”. Wait and See challenges the reader to draw closer to God, especially in a season of waiting. The words are easy enough to read, but the message is worth savoring. WARNING: This book is not a 'quick read'.
