Back Cover: Felling burned out? Unfilfilled? Drained?

Jill Briscoe offers hope and comfort for those times in life when we feel empty and tired. She draws lessions from Bible characters who often felt the same way:

Elijah was "too pooped to prophesy"
Leah was ugly and unloved
Hannah found midlife depressing and barren
Jonah battled constant fears
the Prodigal Son ended up in a pigsty

With wit and candor, Briscoe provides spiritual refreshment and renewal when we are running on empty.
