Waiting time is not wasted time.

A divine delay is a most apt term. Whom among us knows the mind of God? Clearly none on earth. Mrs. Ireland appropriately catches the tone and tenor of the time one spends in a "divine delay". What does one do when they have done all that is humanly possible? Mrs. Ireland argues the case that the four letter word that we don't like - W A I T - is actually the time to reacquaint with God and even delve into his mind. What is God doing? Godwork seems to be her answer. This is a book that belongs in the library of each Christian. Is there any Bible believing Christian who has not had to wait? If so, you too need this book, because the time is coming!

What Is God Waiting For?

Many Christians say they want to grow in the Lord; but what happens when the cost of maturing in Christ requires waiting? Pastor Marlinda Ireland's book, What Is God Waiting For? addresses why God allows believers to endure seasons of delay. This book is packed with personal and Biblical illustrations on the reality of God's presence and provision during our times of waiting. What Is God Waiting For? demonstrates that our delays are not always a result of being disobedient to God. In fact, many times God is trying to give us fresh new perspectives on our circumstances and the people around us. Regardless of how we may feel, God is always at work: whether it's in us or on the people in our circle of influence. One of the other issues that Pastor Ireland focuses on is fasting and prayer during our divine delays. She clears up many of the myths about fasting and shows the reader how to use it as a means of staying in tune with God. No matter how long one has been saved, every believer will experience times of waiting: a time where nothing seems to be going as planned and everything is off-schedule. However, this book will help the believer to see that God has a purpose for every divine delay we endure. This is a must read for all Christians. Great job Pastor Ireland!
