What can be more timely than hearing from a prophet of God who is acquainted with grief and brokenness, and yet rests and relies on his God? Listen and learn from the wise and tender voices of Habakkuk and Taylor Turkington as they take you from lament and injustice to joy and hope. Jackie Hill Perry, Bible teacher and author of Holier Than Thou As if the title wasnt arresting enough, the subtitle is all you need to see to realize the value of this much-needed book: How a Distressed Prophet Helps Us Trust God in a Chaotic World. In it we will discover that Habakkuks questions are our own and that where our faith trembles, God is determined to strengthen it. Review Quotes Although its commonplace to neglect the minor prophets, to the detriment of our maturity, Trembling Faith reaffirms their necessity. You will learn that the only way to not just survive, but find lasting hope is through gritty, trembling, wrestling faith in the God who works in our chaotic world. As you join Taylor Turkington (Bible teacher and former Director of TGC Womens Training Network) through the timeless story of Habakkuk, you will look at the situation of your own heart and world, and here you will find some of the most powerful chapters of the Bible that both confront and console you. Habakkuk doesnt see living by faith as a clich to be written on a pillow or bumper sticker, but a way to survive. We follow his journey of wrestling with evil, and we hear from God how to live. His story is a prayer session-a surprisingly relevant one-open for eavesdroppers. When were looking for answers or just additional words for our prayers, his book is for us. In fact, our frustrating and exhausting experience with chaos, injustice, and corruption is much like that of the distressed prophet Habakkuk in the Old Testament. Either way we utter things like God, please help, God, what are you doing? God, those people are terrible! And we arent alone in those words we lift to heaven.

As people of faith in a powerful God, we want to lift our faces to heaven to cry out or bury our face in our hands to whisper prayers. Neighbors taking advantage of others, unjust verdicts, and unfair beginnings. Book Synopsis At times, our chaotic world reveals hints of the utter brokenness in which we live, like a peek behind the veneer. About the Book In her debut book, Taylor Turkington (BibleEquipping founder and former director of TGC Womens Training Network) helps readers cling to God with gritty faith amidst a world of chaos through the surprisingly relevant prayer of the prophet Habakkuk.
