The Bible says that God makes all things beautiful in their
time, but when we look around today we see a broken and marred
world. Our reality is so often the “not beautiful” that it’s hard
to trust that God can make our mess into something good. So how do
we live with hope for a future redemption of all things?
In Searching for Spring, Christine Hoover takes readers on a
treasure hunt for beauty in both familiar and unexpected places.
Framed by the changing seasons, this journey will heighten readers’
senses and awaken their affections for the creator of it all. For
all who are in the midst of suffering, who find their faith
withering, who are questioning whether God is at work--or even
present--as they wait for something in their lives to become
beautiful, this book will be a welcome reminder that God never
stops his redemptive work and that there is a time for everything
under heaven.

“Too often, the ugliness of sin and the brokenness of our world
cause us to lose sight of the beauty of our God. Searching for
Spring reminds us of this beauty, of the wonders of God’s
creation, and Christ’s promise to make all things new. Read and
wonder as Christine Hoover teaches us to see the beauty and hope
ever-present amid the pain."--Russell Moore, president, The
Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission
"Of all the things that can scuttle our faith, forgetting the
goodness and beauty of God must top the list. In Searching for
Spring, Hoover calls us to encounter a God whose heart beats
with goodness and beauty--a God who persists and insists on
‘making all things beautiful in their time.’ This is a book that
you will want to read slowly, allowing its hope-filled message to
saturate the corners of your weary, doubting soul."--Hannah
