Synopsis

The Bible says that God makes all things beautiful in their time, but when we look around today we see a broken and marred world. Our reality is so often the not beautiful that it's hard to trust that God can make our mess into something good. So how do we live with hope for a future redemption of all things? In Searching for Spring, Christine Hoover takes readers on a treasure hunt for beauty in both familiar and unexpected places. Framed by the changing seasons, this journey will heighten readers' senses and awaken their affections for the creator of it all. For all who are in the midst of suffering, who find their faith withering, who are questioning whether God is at work--or even present--as they wait for something in their lives to become beautiful, this book will be a welcome reminder that God never stops his redemptive work and that there is a time for everything under heaven.

Picked this off my shelf and was surprised to find it is based on Ecclesiastes 3 (current sermon series at church is in Eccl). Some of it was a little slow going and the language more flowery than I typically read, but the layers of gospel truth kept me reading. I particularly loved the section wher......more

The author starts out the novel with her son asking the question, “Mom, Is life Hard?” She asks him why he wants to know. He says to get a conversation going in the car like she suggested. This author thinks hard before answering. She thinks, “My instinctual internal answer was yes; life is certainl......more

"Searching for Spring: how God makes all things beautiful in time" is really a beautiful, eye-opening book to read and become lost in. Christine does an incredible job with really capturing the beauty in the world, all around us, in the unexpected areas and the expected ones both. There is a season......more

This is a MUST read book! My soul felt fed by this book and so much joy came from reading this book through reading it in the season of winter here in Michigan. Although winter is a season, this book also is talking about a spiritual winter as well where things aren't so beautiful in our lives. The......more
