a rare poetic treasure emerges and speaks to us in a profound and meaningful way...the kind of piece you keep close by to share its gentle wisdom. For more than 20 years, Russell Kelfer's inspirational poem, Wait, has ministered to countless individuals, yet the author's identity was always unknown ... until now.

Russell Kelfer speaks to our human desire to hear God's plan for our life and our subsequent frustration when we feel we are met with his silence. What we often hear as God's "no," however, is God's "wait." "Wait...for My timimg. Wait for Me to work in you. Wait while you learn to trust me."




"One of the great lessons God wants us to learn on earth is to trust his love and timing. But the only way we can learn this is by having to wait on things we long for. This wonderful book, combining Russell Kelfer's moving poem with Marianne Richmond's captivating illustrations, is a great gift of encouragement to give to anyone experiencing one of God's waiting rooms."
- Rick Warren, author
