Inhaltsangabe

Waiting . . .In a dead-end career for a breakthrough . . . In an unhappy marriage for relief or escape . . . In a chronic illness for a ray of hope . . . In solitude for the loneliness to subside . . . In turmoil for peace to come . . . Sometimes we find our lives placed on hold. Deep questions begin to surface. How long must I wait? Is there any meaning to all this waiting? Can I trust God?We can't help but wonder what is happening--and why?In Waiting, Ben Patterson uncovers two cardinal virtues required for successful waiting--humility and hope. You will learn how humility teaches us we exist for God's sake, not for our own; and you will learn how hope assures us that there is something worth waiting for.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ben Patterson writes optimistic science fiction from a quiet corner of Delaware where the police blotter once featured a stolen lawn flamingo-and not much else. A mild-mannered widower and lifelong sci-fi enthusiast, he's known for ships with sass, aliens with manners, and heroes who solve problems with grit and grace. His catalog ranges from Blood Oath, Laser Barbecue, and Ashes of Andromeda to his newest adventure, Knight Shift: Tales from the Commons-his first foray into fantasy's side of the street, where a time-displaced knight collides with campus life and science shakes hands with wonder. When he isn't drafting interstellar nonsense, he's overbrewing coffee, misplacing his glasses (check his head), and scolding squirrels like they owe him rent. He believes small mercies should be repeatable-and that hope, applied competently, is the best technology we have.
