“Not giving up on ourselves or each other is increasingly crucial in a culture weathering hard things. I love the voices of (in)courage in this book, representing real-life issues and helping us find strength in our shared hope in Jesus.”
“In the midst of a world that can often feel fractured and divided, Come Sit with Me is a welcome breath of fresh air. The stories of friendship across political divides and theological differences and despite difficulties touched me deeply. This book left me feeling so encouraged, and it infused me with practical suggestions and ideas on how to be a better friend to others. It is a much-needed message in this hurting, lonely world!”
“Encouraging, inspirational, and practical—these are the first three words that come to mind as I read Come Sit with Me. If ever there was a time we needed a book on loving through disagreements, living with discomfort, and delighting in our differences, it’s now. This book is a friend as well as a gentle guide for those of us neck-deep in these struggles. Hearing the stories of others doesn’t solve all our problems, but the wisdom of those who’ve been where we are helps. And the wisdom of those who point us back to Jesus at every twist and bend? Well, that is one way God redeems those heartbreak moments. We all struggle. I’m grateful for the storytellers who allow God to use their suffering to minister to others. I needed this book. My guess is you need it too.”
