From Faking It to Finding Grace: When Striving to Live the Christian Life Just Isn't Enough

Spiritual dryness and disillusionment--nobody ever talks about them. Almost no one ever admits to going through a time of dryness or doubt right now. But the truth is, almost every believer experiences periods of dry faith or feeling disconnected from God. Sadly, nearly everyone keeps silent about their doubts, and they feel alone at a time when they need support more than ever. Now, author Connie Cavanaugh, featured columnist for HomeLife magazine, takes the risk of breaking the silence. Because she speaks out of her own ten-year struggle, readers can trust her to lead the way on a step-by-step path out of the wilderness and toward a fresh realization-deeper and more mature-of friendship with God. Connie speaks honestly to everyone striving to live a life they feel disconnected from: "You may feel empty and alienated, but you're not alone in this"; "Get ready to listen to the Father, who's never stopped loving you"; "Hold on to hope-He's calling you back." Readers will be encouraged to walk day by day out of the desert ... to move from faking it to finding grace from the God who was there all along.
