A Wilder Eden: How to Keep Dreaming in a World of Disappointments
Life can lead us into the wilderness.
But even if our dreams go into drought,
we can still imagine a Wilder Eden.
Everyone believes life is a blank journal waiting to be filled with the culmination of dreams; instead, we deal with disappointments when the pages of our lives don't mirror those dreams. But we were not born with a blank journal in our hands. Life leads us into the wilderness, and we wonder if we will find our way back to Eden, or how to move forward towards the promised land.
While we can't rip out the pages of our lives, we are not narcissists of our narratives. What if the wilderness became our Eden? What if we could keep dreaming in a world of disappointments? Amidst the death or deferral of dreams, A Wilder Eden helps you reimagine your story and pick up your pen again. It reminds you that God, the author of our stories, calls us to co-create with Him and keep dreaming despite our doubts. It shows you how the wilderness might just be the very place of your greatest flourishing.
It’s not just a dream. It's your dream, and it matters because God put it inside you. Will you dare to dream again? If you let me, I'd like to dream with you, too.

This was a very insightful read! I really appreciated the author’s vulnerability and focus throughout the book. She also “did her homework” with passages from the Bible and commentary interwoven in her story. I’ll be referring to it again and again and hope she becomes inspired enough to write another book!

Really enjoyed this Kindle read and am planning on purchasing a hard copy so that I can go back again and again-it’ll be a book that will constantly be on my bedside table. It’s refreshing and vulnerable—and faithfully challenging.
