Looking for a great read to snuggle up with this weekend?

In the quiet town of Habakkuk, five women confront life's deepest storms: a widow's grief, a wayward daughter's chase for fleeting thrills, a prayer warrior's fight against illness and regret, a singer's shattered marriage, and a kidnapping survivor's homecoming after 40 lost years.

Will faith and friendship hold firm... or crumple like paper?

“Once born into childlike faith, brimming with belief, typical people begin to lose their faith. Society mocks them. Their friends smirk. They come to change the world, but over time the world changes them. Soon they forget who they were; they forget the faith they once had. Then one day someone tells them the truth, but they don’t want to go back, because they’re comfortable in their new skin. Being a stranger in this world is never easy.”
― Ted Dekker, Saint

“…It’s not that you don’t have the capacity to accept the truth. You don’t want to accept it, and you hide behind your own logic and intelligence while the truth marches by. Step out and join it, for goodness’’ sake! Shout it out in full step! I believe!”
― Ted Dekker, Saint
