Searching for Spring - (Paperback)

About the Book

Popular blogger offers women practices for recognizing beauty in both familiar and unexpected places, awakening their love for the Creator and arming them to fight despair and hopelessness in the difficulties of life.

Book 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.

"Too often, the ugliness of sin and the brokenness of our world cause us to lose sight of the beauty of our God. Searching for Spring reminds us of this beauty, of the wonders of God's creation, and Christ's promise to make all things new. Read and wonder as Christine Hoover teaches us to see the beauty and hope ever-present amid the pain."--Russell Moore, president, The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission

"Of all the things that can scuttle our faith, forgetting the goodness and beauty of God must top the list. In Searching for Spring, Hoover calls us to encounter a God whose heart beats with goodness and beauty--a God who persists and insists on 'making all things beautiful in their time.' This is a book that you will want to read slowly, allowing its hope-filled message to saturate the corners of your weary, doubting soul."--Hannah Anderson, author of Humble Roots: How Humility Grounds and Nourishes Your Soul
