Seasons of waiting are rarely easy. Hard seasons are just that: hard. Yet they can become classrooms for endurance, humility, and hope. The pace is slower, the progress is subtle, and clarity comes in small pieces. In my own life, reaching the other side has deepened my trust in God and in His infinite wisdom and love.

If you’re walking through a difficult season right now, I hope you’ll find encouragement in Lisa Harper’s testimony.

There's something special about having a dedicated space where you can disappear into another world with just you, a good book and complete comfort.  Whether you're diving into a thrilling mystery or getting lost in a sweeping romance, the right reading environment can make all the difference in your experience.

A few lines on a page can leave us wiping away tears, grinning at a bit of dialogue, or holding our breath for someone we’ve only just met in chapter one. One sentence can spark a memory we thought we’d forgotten. Another can remind us of a moment we’ve lived ourselves, or one we’ve always longed for. That's the power of story.
