Sarah uses her personal story to show us how the Holy Spirit can be a powerful ally to keep us following God's direction for our lives while also making us aware of the potential land mines that lay waiting for us to make a wrong step - and how to avoid them. Each chapter is filled with powerfully moving narratives to not only get us going in the right direction, but also make sure that we have a solid foundation established under our feet for the next leg of the journey.
Closing each chapter with a prayer as well as questions and simple activities designed to help us become more aware of the Holy Spirit's presence and more attuned to heeding His voice, Sarah helps guide us into a more personal relationship with God on a daily basis.
I enjoyed reading about Sarah's own journey, both in her early missions work and in Saving Moses, where she helps young children in need. Her perspectives on spirit-filled living made me rethink what it means to have the Holy Spirit in us, while bringing comfort to those times that it feels as though God isn't listening or may have left us wanting.
I would recommend this book for anyone seeking to have a closer personal relationship with God in the here and now, anyone who has ever felt as those their prayers weren't being heard, and anyone who wonders if God is really present during the seemingly mundane acts of daily living. 5/5 stars.
