If youve been holding a tight grip on your life, let Logans words remind you that God has a beautiful plan for youone you never could have orchestrated on your ownif you trust in Him!
Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
Inordinate, everyday curiosity shows you how to find the coordinates of Gods everyday grace. With fresh vision and vibrant faithfulness, Logan Wolfram hands you a needed compass with these pages.
Ann Voskamp, author of the New York Times bestsellers One Thousand Gifts and The Greatest Gift
Im a pastors kid who grew up thinking faith meant leaping into the unknown. But my friend Logan Wolfram has changed all that. I now realize it means leaping into the heart of One who knows us. Into the heart of One who eclipses the moon; who holds every babyeven the ones we loseand who calls us sons and daughters of the King. With transparency, humor, and poetry, Wolfram awakens the spirit and calls out curiositya longing for more of God. A must-read.
Emily T. Wierenga , founder of The Lulu Tree and author of the memoirs Atlas Girl and Making It Home (www.emilywierenga.com)
Unapologetically herself, Logan invites readers to consider God and His Word from angles that are both accessible and ceilingless. Curious Faith takes the supernatural and the beautiful and the deep things of God and offers them to the woman, like me, in sweatpants and a topknot.
Sara Hagerty, author of Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet
Logan has bared her heart in this book, and we are all the better for it. Curious Faith opened my eyes and mind to all the ways that God can show up in the everyday and how often He is waiting for me to see what He is already doing. A beautiful, moving, and impactful book.
Annie F. Downs, author of Lets All Be Brave
Curious Faith is a work of flow and liquid, which is to say: Logans stories and perspectives are water for a weary and dry landscape. If you are thirsty, come and drink. If you dont know if you are thirsty, come and drink anyway; allow yourself the opportunity to taste drops or even whole glasses of a living beverage. A living beverage that could have you longing for a refill and reimagining the scales and terms of your own life in Christ.
Erika Morrison, author of Bandersnatch: An Invitation to Explore Your Unconventional Soul
Logan Wolfram is a gem. Her capacity to love others, personally connect with and challenge those around her is like none other. Curious Faith is nothing short of beautiful and brilliant. Each chapter unwraps layers of Gods enormity until you are fully covered with a fresh understanding of His love. Get ready to laugh and cry as you are challenged to see, know, and expect more from God than you ever thought possible.
Wynter Pitts, author and founder of For Girls Like You magazine and devotional
Our God may not be a tidy God, but He is a good one. In Curious Faith , Logan Wolfram proves herself an incredible guide for the challenge of walking by faith and living in the midst of the journey. Read this for the curious inspiration we all seek.
Claire Daz-Ortiz, author, speaker, Silicon Valley innovator
I thought Curious Faith would probably be good, but I had no idea it would be this good!
Mandy Scarr, Logans assistant and dear friend
Logan is one thing definitively: contagious. Whether youre having coffee with her or reading her book, her fresh insights and passion are bound to rub off on you. Let her courageous and curious faith rub off on you through these pages. Be encouraged and inspired, challenged and comforted. Not just by her words, but by the God she so intentionally runs after.
Jess Connolly , author and owner of Naptime Diaries
Logan is a raw and fearless leader. Her new book, Curious Faith , matches the rhythm of her life. She is a rare soul who persistently walks towards the light and leads others to do the same. Read this book. Youll be glad you did.

To my boys, Walker and Hudson: May you live ever curious and always hopeful in Christ
Contents
Foreword
It was curiosity that led me to answer the phone from a stranger who was reading one of my ebooks.
It was curiosity that led me to sit on the floor with the stranger-turned-acquaintance under a table at the end of a conference to talk and eat chocolate.
It was curiosity that led me to invite this new friend to my home on a snowy day when her flight was canceled.
It was curiosity that led me to invite her to decorate my home.
It was curiosity that led me to ask her to work with me.
And it was this curiosity that led Logan and me into a deep friendship, one that has been full of laughter, tears, and kinship.
Through these precious years of friendship with Logan, I have been able to witness a deep, curious, abiding faith in the woman who has written the words in this life-giving book.
I have witnessed Logan go through deep heartache and yet hold on fiercely to her God, always believing in the hope that was to come.
