Searching for Certainty: Finding God in the Disruptions of Life

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 anaha instead of anoh no.

It reads as an anthem for the chronically hesitant among us, gently guiding us away from the belief that this life is up to us, inviting us instead to enter into the larger story of God."--from the foreword by Emily P.
