Newness of Life Trusting God in Times of Transition edition by Sarah Geringer Religion Spirituality eBooks
Because we started our family later than some, my husband and I are well into our fifties and are still up to our fetlocks in parenting. Because our oldest son and his wife started their family earlier than some, we are also beginning the season of grandparenting. Since I’m a bit over-the-top in the whole planning and structure realm, I guess I thought that we’d get a break in between these two seasons to re-tool, become wise, and maybe . . . finish our house.Sarah Geringer reminds me that God’s timing is perfect, and in her devotional Newness of Life, she invites me to examine my life in terms of thresholds with a determination to view each season with confidence and anticipation of all that God will do — even when the seasons overlap in ways that I did not foresee! She is writing from a season of pre-teen children with its financial pressures, time constraints, and quiet doubts. Set against the backdrop of Ecclesiastes 3, her own story and the words of tired King Solomon make it clear that God is at work in orchestrating the big picture: birth and death, planting and harvesting, tearing down and building up, grieving and dancing. And, thankfully, He is also present in the seasons that, to us, seem to be less momentous: the scattering and gathering, keeping and throwing away, silence and speaking.
I have had a tendency, in the past, to view the momentous words of Scripture from a distance. After all, when does a homeschooling mother of four who lives on a country hill with spotty Internet service ever encounter a season that tips on a balance of war and peace? How about on a Sunday morning in a house with one bathroom and six people who need showers? It turns out that this life of mothering and sock sorting is a great test case for the long view that says there is “a time for every activity under heaven.” The truth of the gospel is also present in those long ago Old Testament lines of poetry, for each threshold of life is one more occasion in which to witness the newness of life that Jesus ushered in, that we might have life “to the full.”
Listen to the implications:
“In your seasons of birth and death, Jesus remembers you.
In your seasons of planting and harvesting, Jesus bears fruit through you.
In your seasons of killing and healing, Jesus transforms you.
In your seasons of tearing down and building up, Jesus is your cornerstone . . .
In your seasons of war and peace, Jesus empowers you.”
Hildegard von Bingen famously said, “I am a feather on the breath of God.”
When the unpredictability of life is viewed from this angle, there is beauty and a keen anticipation of what God will do next. In times of transition, our response is key.
What will you do with the newness of this particular season of your life?

Newness of Life Trusting God in Times of Transition edition by Sarah Geringer Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Great as a devotional or Bible study! I absolutely loved all of the wonderful Scripture throughout and the soul searching questions!
Sarah Geringer does not disappoint in her second book, Newness of Life. Geringer demonstrates a depth of understanding the scriptures and offers practical tips for weathering the transitions in life. I would highly recommend this book!
This is truly a book that can help anyone during a time of transition. Filled with powerful scripture and thought-provoking questions. Definitely a favorite that will be used again and again. I thoroughly enjoy the writing of Sarah Geringer.
In her new book, "Newness of Life Trusting God in Times of Transition," Sarah Geringer writes her way through Ecclesiastes 3, A Time For Everything. During different seasons of her life, God has guided her through the good and the challenging. Sharing her many personal ways God has been with her, she writes for you to reflect on these verses as well with questions to study at the end of each chapter.
I really enjoyed Sarah's book and enjoyed how her examples testified to her faith in God and his faithfulness in her life. Sarah writes with such honesty about her struggles and gives you prayers that are applicable to each season of life. Sarah makes the living word in these verses relate to your own life and her questions act as a workbook for you to go deeper into the different transitions. I recommend this book for personal study or bible study for groups that may be experiencing transitions. Turning to the Lord in prayer with each transition as Sarah has done is a wonderful example that even Jesus modeled during his challenges here on earth.
I am immensely enjoying this book! It's a journey through the seasons of life which is applicable to everyone. It's based on Ecclesiastes which I found comforting. I appreciate all of the person examples and insights the author provided. It's extremely encouraging, especially if you're going through a challenging season of life!
I picked up Sarah's book because the subtitle intrigued me; "Trusting God in Times of Transition". I'm presently in a time of transition and it seems to be lingering! Little did I know how much Sarah's words would speak to my heart and draw me closer to the heart of God. She invites you to walk with her through the first part of Ecclesiastes step by step, looking at what's behind, "a time for everything". Her conversational style of writing is personal, insightful, and a quick read. Each chapter ends with a deeper look into the scriptures with timely questions for introspective reflection. Newness of Life isn't just for times of transition—but it truly is a book for every season.
Sarah's book as enabled me to see deeper into the season of life I am experiencing. We all go through them, but what do they mean? What is God's plan? With the scriptures and self examination, I can dig deeper into God's purpose and understand His perfect timing. Her words resonated with me and I could connect on so many levels. I'm not alone and the only one experiencing difficult or trying times. It is nice to be able to relate to someone else and help them lead you closer to God. Definitely a book you want to add to your collection!
