More from Sarah

Our Trustworthy God is the result of years of seeking. I knew I was supposed to trust God… but. I struggled with the buts of trusting God. There are too many to name, and they usually start with “why?” Some examples are when good people have bad things happen to them, why? When someone we love has died too soon, when our best friend gets cancer, when a hurricane strikes and whole towns are lost. For me, it was cancer in the family and even starting my own business. I couldn’t really understand, or “feel” that everything was working out for my good. Trusting God wasn’t exactly an on-command reflex when I thought of these things. It was easier to wonder where God was rather than trust that he IS and will always be here.

But I wanted more than to believe he was here, I wanted to know deeply that God was working for my good, even when all I saw was destruction and evil. So, I spent a year dedicated to digging in and seeking to understand what trusting God really means. I wanted to know how trustworthy God is, all the time. I didn’t want that knowledge to remain in my head, but I wanted it in my heart. I wanted it to be the automatic reflex when bad things happen that I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God was in that situation and working for my good.

What I found surprised me. Don’t misunderstand, more than ever before, I know God IS with me in every circumstance and he IS working for my well-being. He loves me deeply. What surprised me was that God trusts me as well and his power is unlike anything I could imagine.

A deep discussion of relationship and trusting God is what came out of that search to understand how I could trust the unseen God in an evil world, and I had to share it. Because I know my God is good and he is trustworthy. He is working for your good. He loves you, joyfully engages with you, and he trusts you.

Interview with Sarah

What do you find the hardest part of the writing process?

I am not a fan of editing. I do alright the first time through and send it to my editor. After that, I tend to have trouble focusing and working through the points that my editor made about the book. Of course, sometimes the comments are a real challenge, and then I enjoy it, but generally I have a hard time with edits.

Do your books revolve around certain themes?

I have two series that look at connections between the Old and New Testaments. So, I guess you could say that is a theme in my writing. Both of the series focus on one book in the New Testament and look back at correlated passages in the Old Testament to understand more about God and his priorities and teachings. They have been enriching to write and have really opened up some dense Old Testament teachings in unexpected ways.

What are you currently working on?

I am working on a series of Bible studies about the epistles and how they reflect teachings from the Old Testament. A recent theme in Christian nonfiction has been “seeing Jesus in the whole Bible” and that is very true. But I wondered how the epistles reflect ideas that were presented in the Old Testament. It has been a fascinating study, and I’ve set out the format so that participants walk through the discovery themselves rather than me teaching everything. It is a different style, but empowering.

Tell us something unique about yourself.

I currently live in Ethiopia. My husband’s work takes us to many places around the world. I have lived in six countries across three continents (and visited another 2 continents!). It is helpful that my writing can be done anywhere!

When you aren’t writing, what do you enjoy doing?

You could easily find me with a book in hand when I am winding down. I am going through a fantasy phase of reading right now but always have one or two Christian nonfiction books open as well. I also enjoy working out and recently started doing Pilates. I am a bit nerdy and can also get lost reading things on the internet to learn about something that I have seen, heard or read about.
