Every Bitter Thing is Sweet: Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things

Sara Hagerty masterfully draws from her own story of spiritual and physical barrenness to birth in readers a new longing for God. With exquisite storytelling and reflection, Hagerty guides readers to a tender place that God is holding just for them-a place where he shapes the bitterness of lost expectations into deep, new places of knowing Him. Taste the Goodness of God Sara Hagerty found Him when life stopped working for her. She found Him when she was a young adult mired in spiritual busyness and when she was a newlywed bride with doubts about whether her fledgling marriage would survive. She found Him alone in the night as she cradled her longing for babies who did not come. She found Him as she kissed the faces of children on another continent who had lived years without a mommy’s touch. In Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet, Hagerty weaves fabric from the narrative of her life into the mosaic of a Creator who mends broken stories. Here you will see a God who is present in every changing circumstance. Most significantly, you see a God who is present in every unchanging circumstance as well. Whatever lost expectations you are facing—in family, career, singleness, or marriage—Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet will bring you closer to a God who longs for you to know Him more. Going beyond the narrative to offer timeless insight, Hagerty brings you back to hope, back to healing, back to a place that God is holding for you alone—a place where the unseen is more real than what the eye can perceive. A place where every bitter thing is sweet.
