The book and our pace

These forty brief biblical meditations help readers bring church-related sorrow to God, reflect on painful experiences, and consider wise next steps. This group offers room to read slowly, ask honest questions, and be encouraged in Christ.

We’ll read five meditations each week, with space to catch up.
