About this ebook
We all long for certainty in life, yet things often don't go as we expect. When facing illness, job loss, strained relationships, and other struggles, our impulse is to question God and strive to fix things ourselves.
In this book, Shelly Miller, a trusted ministry leader, explores how difficult times can actually be purposeful times of spiritual growth. Weaving the exodus story from the Bible with her own story, she shares how to focus on God rather than trying to overcome challenges in our own limited strength. Each chapter features a simple spiritual practice to help us enjoy the peace and security that is only possible through Christ. Uncertain seasons will soon be translated as an aha instead of an oh no.

If you find yourself hoping to feel confident in your future, struggling with uncertainty. This book is for you. The author, Shelly Miller, shares her personal stories searching for certainty. She incorporates biblical events and looking at who God is, as she helps build a case for confidence in God making life way more certain than we really recognize. I found her endings of each chapter with a few questions and passages to read and a practice stillness suggestion so supportive and engaging. The author's style is somewhat poetic at times and her writing, not all will appreciate. But I like the mingling of her life stories, the Word of God's influence and examples, as well as her prose that present God as the certainty in our lives. Thankful to have an advance copy to read.
