Wait Quietly

by Dean Merrill

“Short, daily readings from Scripture married to pointed, pithy comments and applications . . . Very good and very helpful.” – D. Stuart Briscoe “Single parents and parents of blended families will find this devotional particularly helpful.” – Roger Morehead “How I wish this answer-filled book had been available when John and I were raising our family! . . . Brief enough to fit into a parent’s most hectic day.” – Elizabeth Sherrill “I’ve never before lauded a book for its appendix, but this has got to a first! . . . Valuable throughout, but the practical material in those final few pages alone is worth the price of the book!” – Jack W. Hayford “Powerful. . . . An insightful family manual based on actual family scenes from the Bible. . . . A comfort and a catapult!” – J. Allan Petersen
