The Miracle in the Middle: Finding God's Voice in the Void (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780849921988)

This compelling, story-driven message shows how those who persist through the burnout and valleys of the "middle" will find that miracles await them on the other side.

If you've ever been on a long trip with small children, you've no doubt heard, "Are we there yet?" Maybe you've felt that same way as you have journeyed with God. It's the midway point where most of us feel impatient and frustrated. It's also where our hidden doubts find their voice.

Where most beginnings start with energy and expectation for all that is ahead, and endings bring the joy of completion as you arrive at your desired destination, the middle is different. This midpoint can too quickly become a low point, as energy is lacking and enthusiasm wanes. Yet how well you handle the middle reveals what is in the "middle" of you.

The disciples found--in the middle of a lake--a revelation of Jesus that they had never seen on the shore. In the middle is where new navigational skills are found. It's also where some of the most significant lessons are learned. In Miracle in the Middle, you'll learn how to:

• Candidly face the realities of life's frustrations and respond to them biblically
• Persist in your efforts in your marriage, family, career, and ministry
• Navigate burnout during life's valleys
• Gain eternal perspective on temporary situations

Find strength in the struggle, passion to persist, wisdom in weariness, and joy for the journey.
