God, who comes in the hunger that pain so masterfully produces, worked His way into her insides to write a love-story as universal as the barrenness that every life clothed-in-flesh wears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A back alley is an unsuspecting place for a brush with God. In the age of fingertip access to pipe dreams and a ceiling-less supply of ambitions, where do you find the God who was birthed in dirt and straw? Sara Hagerty found Him when life stopped working for her. It was after almost a decade of Christian life and ministry when she was introduced to pain and perplexity. God met her and moved her when life broke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Hagerty weaves in and out (not necessarily sequentially) stories of her conversion and teen years, dating years, infertility, adoption, early years of marriage, husband's business failure, and family health issues. The overall message is that all the tough times end up teaching her major lessons about herself and God.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zondervan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47103473058032,"sku":"9780310339953","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780310339953_p0.jpg?v=1765232946","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780310339953","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
