Leigh McLeroy

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2010

You’ve felt it.

It’s the ache that whispers “there’s more.”

When the best job, marriage or adventure doesn’t fully satisfy, you feel the ache. It infuses every glimpse of beauty or wonder this world can offer and leaves you hungrier than before. It colors your disappointments and desires with equal intensity, and it should—because you were made for another kind of living in another kind of world.
However the ache touches your heart, it is a good thing. It is meant to both entice and unsettle you, and draw you closer to the God who truly satisfies. In The Beautiful Ache, Leigh McLeroy’s powerful writing invites you to hopefully embrace the gap between the life you know…and the life you can’t help longing for.
Leigh McLeroy is the author of The Sacred Ordinary and Treasured: Knowing God by the Things He Keeps. A sought-after Bible teacher and event speaker, she is also the creator of Wednesday Words, a weekly devotional with a life of its own.

FRONT COVER "A well-written reminder of why we are really here and where many of us are headed."--Steve Arterburn BACK COVER You've felt it. It's the ache that whispers "There's more." When the best marriage or job or adventure doesn't fully satisfy, you feel the ache. It infuses every glimpse of beauty or wonder this world can offer and leaves you even hungrier than before.

In The Beautiful Ache, Leigh McLeroy's powerful writing offers the hope you need to embrace the gap between the life you know...and the life you can't help longing for. "Leigh is a careful thinker with a deep grasp of God's Word who has the rare ability to translate her insight into prose that sings, dances, and remains fixed in the reader's memory."--Steve Halliday, president, Crown Media Ltd., Portland, OR "I so resonate with Leigh's descriptions about a little-understood longing in our hearts. Surely this book will help others identify their own longings . . . and the only Source that satisfies."--Carol Kuykendall, MOPS International "Leigh McLeroy holds my hand in a place I know, but that I fear. With honesty and hope, she leads me to lean into the longing and find joy on the other side. Her fearlessness has become my courage, and I am eternally grateful."--Judy Nelson, editor-in-chief, Worldwide Challenge magazine, Orlando, FL
