Lisânias Moura has served as a Baptist pastor for more than three decades. He has counseled countless men and women who were undergoing pain and suffering. He himself has experienced moments of great anguish when his trust in God was put to the test.
When it comes to faith, the subject of suffering is often the most difficult to deal with. In this respect, God's Waiting Room qualifies as an essential work. As he explores the life lessons contained in the book of the prophet Habakkuk, the author masterfully intertwines his own stories with examples from his counseling ministry.
With sensitivity, honesty and deep emotion, Moura avoids worn-out platitudes and a prosperity-like triumphalism. He shows the way to recover the hope that often eludes us when we are in the "waiting room." In a gracious, surprising manner, he shows how the waiting room can be transformed into a space full of hope.
