Peace in the Waiting
When You Love People Who Don't Love God
Your call to love those who don’t know Jesus does not mean you need to save them. Through real-life guidance and encouragement, Peace in the Waiting helps us navigate the grief, confusion, and urgency we feel for loved ones who have rejected or wandered away from God.
Is your heart weary from praying for someone you love to know Jesus? Peace in the Waiting offers a hope-filled path as you turn from your own doubts and frustration to God’s sovereignty and comfort. Drawing on her experience with a close friend, author June Chapman explores:
How to name and process our sorrow over friends and family who don’t know God Our confusion about some people being saved and not others Our questions about unanswered prayers Why we need to remember that a loved one’s salvation is not up to us How we can embrace peace even in the longing we have for others to follow Jesus
Peace in the Waiting calls us to take the focus off ourselves and trust in God’s promises so that we might have a renewed sense of hope for those we love most.
