I recently had the pleasure of delving into Waiting Isn’t a Waste, a profoundly insightful book by Mark Vroegop that offers solace and wisdom to those navigating the tumultuous waters of uncertainty. As someone who has grappled with periods of prolonged waiting, I can attest to the relevance and resonance of this work.
\n\t
The book sheds light on six characteristics of waiting, each one serving as a beacon of guidance for those seeking solace in their faith. Vroegop masterfully elucidates how waiting is not only an inherent part of life but also a crucial opportunity to seek wisdom from God and find peace amidst the storm.
\n\t
One particularly impactful aspect of the book lies in its exploration of waiting as something that is hard, common, biblical, slow, commanded, and relational. These characteristics serve as touchstones for readers, providing a framework to understand their experiences and offering a sense of comfort and connection.
\n\t
Vroegop’s writing style is engaging and accessible, making the book an ideal companion for those struggling with anxiety, discouragement, or weariness while waiting. He skillfully weaves personal anecdotes and scriptural references to create a rich tapestry of insights that encourage readers to embrace waiting rather than resist it.
\n\t
As someone who has found solace in Vroegop’s previous work, Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy, I was not surprised by the depth and wisdom found within these pages. Indeed, Waiting Isn’t a Waste was named the ECPA 2020 Christian Book of the Year, attesting to its profound impact on readers.
