A deeply moving and life-affirming account of wrestling with trust and God and finding miracles in the most unexpected places.

In the brief instant Sarah Bessey realized that her minivan was, inevitably, likely to hit the automobile on the highway for the bright, clear day from the crash, she knew intuitively that it would have life-changing consequences. But mainly because she navigated the winding route from her lifestyle before the accident—as a favorite writer, preacher, and adoring wife and mom—to her new lease of life about Wonders and Other Fair Things: A Story of Unlearning and Relearning God after, inhabiting a body that no longer sensed like her own, she discovered that the most unpredicted result wasn’t just how this shook her body, but how it shook her deeply rooted faith, upending everything she believed she understood and held therefore dearly.

Weaving together theology and memoir in her brand narrative design, Sarah tells us the story of the moment that changed her body and how it ultimately transformed her life. The road of healing network marketing leads to Rome where she fulfilled the Pope (it’s complicated) and encountered the Holy Soul within the last place she expected. She writes about her miraculous curing, learning to live with chronic discomfort, and the methods God makes us whole in the midst of struggling. She invites us to a path of understanding God that is filled with common miracles, hope when confronted with overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and other completely reasonable stuff.

Insightful, serious, and unexpected, Wonders and Other Sensible Things is usually a outrageous, spirit-filled tale of what this means to live with both grief and faith, suffering and joy, as we wrestle with God.
