Book Summary

Luke and Trisha currently live in Allen Park, Michigan, where Luke is in his final semesters of earning an M.Div from Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary. Trisha is a full-time writer and editor. Between the two of them, their book budget is bigger than their grocery bill.

More importantly, Luke and Trisha are Christians who have been transformed by Jesus Christ. Their goal is to serve Him with their lives in whatever way He sees fit.

In the summer of 2007, their first child was born on the other side of the world. In early 2009, they saw him for the first time via a DVD. They anticipated bringing their son home within the year. They prepared a bedroom, notified family, and imagined how their lives would change. And then nothing.

God has taught them incredible things through the process of waiting on Him. They believe that waiting—though painful—is a gift. Trust. Hope. Pray. is a compilation of the lessons they have learned about waiting. Though they cannot help but think of their own recent experiences, it is not primarily a book about adoption. It is a book about the grace of God experienced while waiting.
