Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things
Ministry burnout, infertility, international adoption, financial crisis, failed business, father with cancer and marriage struggles. Author Sara Hagerty has experienced significant pain and disappointment in her 30-something years. Yet she has chosen not to become bitter about the bitterness of life. Instead, Hagerty has come to view life’s setbacks as opportunities to be near enough to smell God’s skin. awaken to God’s love for her. In Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet: Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things (Zondervan, October 2014), Hagerty shares in her lyrical and honest voice how her own heart-rending circumstances were transformed into a hope-filled journey.
Using the wisdom of Proverbs as her foundation – “A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet” – Hagerty describes how a hunger for more of God has changed her view of suffering and pain. Writes Hagerty: “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.”
