Sara Hagerty is a lover of words, a student of God and His Word, a wife to the man she married first and fell deliriously in love with about ten years later (it’s true), and a mom of seven (gulp). She is a Publisher’s Weekly bestselling author and has written several books – her most recent being The Gift of Limitations, released via Zondervan in March of 2024.

Long before she was a writer, Sara was a reader. She spent childhood afternoons with her bony frame folded up in the corner swivel chair of her parents’ sunroom, lost in the pages of a story.

Other than in the pages of a book, her favorite place to write is on substack – it’s a quieter, more focused place for her to craft words about her reach for God and to invite readers into that st ...more

When (really) good things end …

Coming to the end of a rich novel that accidentally changes your heart is like coming to the end of a part of your life that was good and beautiful and godly.

It feels wrong to have good things end.

Surely Eden starts right here and only continues until and through eternity, we might think. But having eternity written on our hearts means we have hues of heaven now but not its fullest expression.

Quotes by Sara Hagerty (?)

“Too often we try to avoid that scary place where we love so deep, so much, our hearts could break. But without the bitterness, we would never appreciate the sweetness.”
― Sara Hagerty, Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet: Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things

“I don’t want to be a hungry soul just for a season. I want to live hunger. This is what draws me to Him. This is what fills every single bitter circumstance with the opportunity to know Him more. This is what brings me to the sweetness of His presence. And hope happens here at this nexus of bitter and sweet.”
― Sara Hagerty, Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet: Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things

“Fear loses oxygen when every moment suspends itself under the purpose of bringing Him glory, of knowing His name and His nature. Sometimes, instead of leading us up and out of those very fears, big and small, He lets us live them. He gives us over to them. Because it’s in this giving over to our fears that we find the perfect love that frees us from them. Forever.”
― Sara Hagerty, Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet: Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things
