About this listen
“This book - the fullness, depth, and beauty of Sarah Bessey’s faith and artistic genius - is a miracle” (Glennon Doyle, number one New York Times best-selling author of Love Warrior) and an unforgettable and life-affirming exploration of how trauma can strengthen your faith and miracles can be found in unexpected places.
In the brief instant Sarah Bessey realized that her minivan was, inevitably, going to hit the car on the highway on the bright, clear day of the crash, she knew intuitively that it would have life-changing consequences. But as she navigated the winding path from her life before the accident - as a popular author, preacher, and loving wife and mother - to her new life after, inhabiting a body that no longer felt like her own, she found that the most unexpected result was how it shook her deeply rooted faith, upending everything she thought she knew and held so dearly. Weaving together theology and memoir, Sarah delivers “a well-written reminder of seeing the miracles in life’s highs and lows” (Library Journal). The road of healing leads to Rome, where she met the pope (it’s complicated) and encountered the Holy Spirit in the last place she expected. She writes about her miraculous healing, learning to live with chronic pain, and the ways God makes us whole in the midst of suffering. She invites us to a path of knowing God that is filled with ordinary miracles, hope in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and other completely reasonable things.
Insightful, profound, and unexpected, “Sarah’s writing is so breathtaking, sometimes you think you are reading poetry. The story is so thrilling, sometimes you think you are devouring a novel. And the Spirit she describes is so compelling, you’ll swear you experienced a revival. You won’t put it down once until you close the last page” (Jen Hatmaker, New York Times best-selling author).

Allowed me to think about faith in Jesus again.
This book brought so many tears to my eyes as Sarah ripped my heart open with her stunning and Terrific words. Her stories and the way she told them allowed me to think about prayer again. About loving Jesus with all of me again. About faith and life. It’s beautiful and contemplative. Profound and soul stirring. Thank you for your words Sarah.

Excellent book, and Well read
I don’t usually do audibles if the author isn’t reading it but this one caught my attention. As someone in a faith deconstruction journey this book made me feel so seen and heard and that I wasn’t alone. WOW! By the final chapter I had tears running down my face. What a gift this book has been to my journey.

Beautiful
This book is beautiful. It’s for those of us who no longer believe in a miraculous cure, but who still long for healing. Gentle and kind, Sarah gives us hope.

Meandering and Worth a Listen
Sarah is a very relatable person and a lot of her personality comes out in this. The narrative is meandering and possibly loses itself here and there; nonetheless it is worth the read/listen. Most redeeming, after the releif you'll feel from her openness and embodied Grace, is of course her repeated mentions of drinking tea. We tea drinkers have to stick together.

Book good - narrator didn’t fit this book
Nothing against the narrator but she just didn’t fit this book- wrong voice for content. It made the book sound flippant and dampened my enjoyment of it.
