Every once in a while, a rare poetic treasure emerges and speaks to us in a profound and meaningful way*the kind of piece you keep close by to share its gentle wisdom. For more than 20 years, Russell Kelfer's inspirational poem, Wait, has ministered to countless individuals, yet the author's identity was always unknown*until now. Russell Kelfer speaks to our human desire to hear God's plan for our life and our subsequent frustration when we feel we are met with His silence. What we often hear as God's no, however, is God's wait. Wait*for My timing. Wait for Me to work in you. Wait while you learn to trust Me. Noted designer, Marianne Richmond, found the poem and brought it to life with her insightful illustrations to create this unique inspirational gift book.
While waiting for our adoptive daughter I thought my heart would break. Nothing and no one moved fast enough for me. A woman I never met understood my anguish as she had been through it herself. She sent me "Wait." I still think she was an angel. I clung to this book, memorized the poem, and thanked God for it. It truly did help me "wait" for my treasured Chinese daughter, and not just to wait but to have joy in the (often painful) waiting.
truly beautiful book, both in message and image
