Lauries life experience gives her great wisdom in bringing insights to life from Scripture verses we often miss, and these insights will deeply encourage your walk of faith.
John Burke, pastor; New York Times bestselling author, Imagine Heaven
In her latest volume, Laurie Polich Short takes a thought-provoking look at 40 verses that all of us have probably skimmed over dozens of times but never stopped to chew on. Lauries reflections into each of these passages of Scripture provide powerful insights and meaningful application as we walk out our faith.
Jim Daly, president, Focus on the Family
How many times have I said to God, I could just get through this if I had enough faith! Sometimes things seem so hopeless that its hard to remember who God is, how faithful He is to keep His promises, and how He works. Lauries study serves as an altar in the desert of our struggle, pointing to heaven whilst we remain grounded on earth. Both encouraging and challenging, Laurie leads us verse by verse from a place of hopelessness to joyful faith.
Aarti Sequeira, winner, season 6, The Next Food Network Star ; TV host
Im not sure how she does it, but Laurie hears the conversations in my head and answers questions stirring in my heart. Im excited to have a resource that helps lead me to honest reflection and life-giving insight by using the Bible in a practical but thought-provoking way.
Helen Denmark Musick, associate pastor, Lexington City Church
Faith is a muscle that atrophies if it isnt exercised. Laurie Short will help each day become a chance to train.
John Ortberg, senior pastor, Menlo Church
You will find a depth of faith and insight on every page. Laurie Polich Short is a most incredible communicator who looks at each of these verses in a unique and fresh way. I used her book as a companion to my devotional reading and each day reached deep within my soul.
Jim Burns, PhD, president, HomeWord; author, Doing Life with Your Adult Children
Laurie Polich Short has a way of making every reader feel as if they are having an intimate one-on-one chat with a friend. She writes with clear messages and thought-provoking questions that make us think and ponder biblical truths in a new, enlightening way. This is a great book for those who are afraid of reading a book that might be overwhelming and complicated. I love this authors down-to-earth style.

About the Author
Back Cover
G od can sometimes be missing from where we would like God to be.
This observation keeps many people at a distance and can chip away at a believers faith. After I wrote a book about my own experience of sitting in the silence of God, my inbox was filled with emails from people who needed encouragement in their waning faith:
Jessica asked why she should hold on to God when it felt like God had let go of her. She spent ten years serving in ministry, had her deepest prayer answered then stripped away, and she wondered why God had abandoned her. All she heard was silence.
Lauren asked if she should continue pursuing her dream career, when she experienced rejection at every turn. She believed God was directing her, held fast to the encouragement of Bible verses, and solicited prayers from people who affirmed her call. So far, all she had been met with was a string of closed doors.
David felt paralyzed by the Scriptures he had memorized (and taught to others) that seemed to have failed him. As he watched friends receive the healing he himself longed for, he was envious and disturbed. He wondered why God seemed to overlook him while granting others the desires of their hearts.
