When it comes to our connection with God, we dread "dry seasons", when we feel far from our life-sustaining creator and redeemer. We want to dwell in lush valleys, not wander in trackless deserts.

And yet, during the first three centuries of the church, many men and women purposefully moved into deserts to seek God. They understood something we have missed: A desert is not a place of vast nothingness, but a place where we can truly experience God's provision, restoration, and intimacy.

Through scripture and personal stories of her own times of waiting and struggle, Allison Allen offers a fresh perspective for women who dare to believe God is doing something of eternal value in their dry seasons. She shows how God can use these times in our lives to reveal himself to us, to give us rest, to get our attention, to show us our strength, to experience his blessings, and more.

Any woman who has been feeling spiritually sapped will welcome this refreshing message of hope.
