It's hard to hold on when your deepest prayer hangs in the air unanswered. Or when circumstances you desperately wish would change drag on.

Mining the often-overlooked passages of Scripture, Bible teacher Laurie Polich Short unearths 30 practical, encouraging gems of wisdom found in the faith and lives of biblical heroes. She helps you discover when to wait and when to move, when to hold on and when to let go, and how to have hope in circumstances that previously felt hopeless. Here is your compass to living your story well when the way forward is unclear.
