“Christie Love tackles a difficult topic with incredible precision in her book, God of the Gaps. She defines gasps as “the in-between places” like “times of struggling between our needs and their provision” or “the unmapped journey between our hurt and our healing” amongst many other examples. Having been in gaps before myself, I have read other books in the past that attempted to relate someone else’s journey to my own, and each time, they fell short. Christie Love manages to take her own personal journey and the lessons she learned through the process and make it universally adaptable to our own unique experiences. This is no small feat. Christie Love manages to convey compassion and understanding without being prescriptive. She makes no assumptions about her readers. Christie Love isn’t afraid to expose the hurts that many churches have caused their members, and she is willing to dive deep to consider how our culture discourages us from feeling hard feelings or asking hard questions. Using Biblical support, she shows us that God invites our questions, our painful emotions, and our doubts. She makes the reader feel seen and communicates that God is a God who sees. She also provides practical examples of ways to endure the gap, all the while communicating her empathy to the struggling reader. In the end, this is a hopeful read, one that seeks to unify all struggling sojourners in our all too common gaps. Christie Love is a Kingdom-builder, a passionate advocate for the weary. To anyone in a dark place, this book is a balm for the soul.”
