Want to Read $ 2.99"And part of why books matter and writing matters and storytelling matters is because the best writers go first: the best writers say the unsaid and unspoken, the secret truths we all feel but can't quite speak aloud. - Shauna Niequist (Forward for Miracles and Other Reasonable Things)"-Sarah Bessey, Miracles and Other Reasonable Things: A Story of Unlearning and Relearning God
"I remember hearing a preacher once claim the miracle of a good parking spot. As in, she taught a church full of people how to pray for a good parking spot, how to claim it, and how to rejoice when it came. My side eye at this cannot be overestimated. If your greatest notion of suffering is having to walk a few more rows to the Target, then I think we can safely say you've lost the plot."-Sarah Bessey, Miracles and Other Reasonable Things: A Story of Unlearning and Relearning God
