When the Heart Waits: Spiritual Direction for Life’s Sacred Questions by Sue Monk Kidd

“What has happened to our ability to dwell in unknowing, to live inside a question and coexist with the tensions of uncertainty?”

Sue Monk Kidd, 25

Kidd’s short memoir is a reflection of waiting amidst crisis. Wait, it says. Listen. Acknowledge the false selves and hold the wounded ones.

This book taught me that silent waiting is its own kind of prayer. Sometimes words won’t work.

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.

Listen.
